Oxygen balance, CHETAH program

Other methods such as oxygen balance are available that point to chemicals likely to show self-reactivity. These methods are described in CCPS (1995b) and elsewhere. The ASTM CHETAH program (Balaraju et al. 2002) is useful for this purpose, if both the program and the expertise to use it are available to you. 

The CHETAH Program from ASTM Committee E-27 is also quite useful for theoretical calculations of enthalpy (decomposition, oxidation or combustion), oxygen balance, and potential energy release. Recent modifications of the program and updating of the data base make it even more useful.
