Chemical Safety; Fires and Explosions

3.587 ratings at Alison

Overview

In this course, you will learn about fires and explosions, as well as a look at the various modes of heat transfer. The characteristics of flammability, as well as the different classifications of explosions will also be covered in this course. Then, the course will teach you about the classifications of fires, and also look at the different types of fire extinguishers.

Then, this course will teach you about the anatomy of the fire extinguishers, and look at what type of fire extinguisher is appropriate for different types of fire. You will also learn about the process of vacuum and pressure purging with impure nitrogen. Lastly, this course will teach you about electrostatic discharge, and the general design methodology to prevent electrostatic ignition.

This course is helpful for learners who want to understand saftey for fires and explosions, as well as the various modes of heat transfer. You will also learn about how fires and explosions can be classified, and also learn about the flammability characteristics of fire. Begin this course now to understand the anatomy of fire extinghuishers, and how they are used in extinguishing fires.
