A Study on the Stability Test for Rapid Screening of Hazard Class Propellants

Key Points

• This research aims to identify hazard class propellants using a new heating test method.
• Introduced a Methyl violet heat test as a pre-analysis method for steam distillation.
• Evaluated the relationship between color change time and stabilizer content.
• Established hazard classification criteria based on statistical analysis.
• Assessed the applicability of the heating test for both short-term and long-term propellants.
• Demonstrated a linear relationship between color change time and stabilizer content for short-term propellants.
• Set hazard class criteria based on the type of propellants using statistical analysis.
• Improved prioritization for the ASRP samples, enhancing overall evaluation reliability.
