At 0:03 you can see a hydraulic line blow off the top of the machine, and a geyser of hydraulic fluid starts spraying into the air. It's doing a great job of aerosolizing that hot oil and moments later it finds an ignition source. The fire initially burns as you might expect, mostly confined to a surface (the ground) and putting off thick black smoke. That phase of burning does not last long, a few seconds, with more fuel constantly being added the fire grows bigger and hotter, hitting flashover at 0:19 give or take a second. Note the *dramatic* increase in brightness. The roof starts shedding debris, which is not surprising considering it's being subjected to the demonic cross between a fuel air bomb and a blowtorch.
@polistirenn7 күн бұрын
was the ignition source (even if it was far away) the fire the man on the left lit up from that thing?
@StarlightSocialist7 күн бұрын
@@polistirenn Good question! The way to evaluate a potential scenerio is to think about what it would look like if it happened and check how closely that matches observable evidence. The man is holding an oxy-acetaline cutting torch and lights the flame at the same time as the machine blows the hydraulic line. Its crazy how close the two events coincide, but lets consider each part individually before getting to possible interactions. The man is dressed in his regular work clothes but notably absent is the appropriate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment). He may be wearing a glove on his left hand but certainly not on his right (Probably so he can use a pocket lighter to light the torch. Thats much more conveniant than using the friction striker which is bulky/combersome but doesn't require dexterity. You know, so you can put on heavy gloves on both hands THEN light the torch) Also he's wearing a long sleeve shirt which is all kinds of yikes. Lastly, since you turn on the gas before lighting the torch there is some extra combustable gas in the air. Thats normally not a problem, the torch flares very slightly when struck then quickly settles down. Overall this is definitely a potential ignition sorce. The machine provides the fuel, hydraulic fluid, which is basically oil. Thats flamable, but its not very volatile, a.e. it doesn't vaporize well. The white cloud of spray we see is mostly technically liquid, just in droplets of various sizes. Some vapor is definitely present, and an expanding vapor cloud WILL ignite when it reaches an ignition source, producing a large flare thats roughly spherical. A rain of flamable liquid, however, has to actually fall on or very near an ignition source and fires start wherever the shower lands. If the man had been showered with oil to any substantial degree he would have lit up like a human torch, especially since he was holding an excellent ignition source. The inital fires are all on or around the machine, and only start when the shower of hydraulic fluid falls to the ground. Theres also plenty of possible ignition sources around there.

In 1988 I was working at Comalco aluminium in yennora, a suburb in western Sydney. I was working on a machine called the warm mill. This machine was huge and rolled aluminium from about a quarter inch thick down to almost foil thickness. Sometimes we would get fires . Probably once a month. There were banks of CO2 cylinders with nozzles pointed all over the mill. When a fire started we would hit the big red button and walk away ( not run because the floor was slippery because of liquid coolant which is what caught fire ). The CO2 would automatically kick in and put the fire out. The first fire I saw was terrifying. Never got used to that. Scared the shit out of me every time.

Sometimes an edge crack in the aluminium would cause it to tear and the aluminium would then crumple up which caused a spark that ignited the coolant. Within a few seconds the flames were hitting the ceiling which was around 40 or 50 feet high. When a fire happened the fitters had to change the rollers in the mill. We’d be down the whole shift .

But working in those conditions with that material (oil, heat, aluminum, you probably have propylene and acetylene torches that create smolder, etc.) those ceilings and walls collect all that in the air. It's literally big blackish gray chunks of dust. You may clean that once a year. But that shit is so flammable. Even in the floors. I've seen sides of furnaces get cracked or punctured and drain molten metal out on a floor in minutes. No human can do anything about that until the molten metal is finished draining, and the damage done is amazing. I've seen 3 or 4 inch hydraulic hoses break from wear and spring a leak next to an uncovered furnaces. That furnace will have flames so hight off the surface of the metal so fast it's scary. These guys probably didn't get a chance to hit the E-stop in time.

The fact that those hydraulic pumps did not shut off is just proof that someone cared more about cost than safety. There should have been fire sensor that instantly stop all hydraulics flowing at the first sign of a spark. That valve or what ever sprung a leak should have had pressure sensitive valves that instantly shut off at the first sign of losing pressure.
@rocketman04202 ай бұрын
Hmm, I do like those ideas of safety measures, but the question of means and effectiveness remain. I personally have never seen a safety system like that, though I'm sure something with the same goals do exist. Your first obstacle is stopping hydraulic fluid flow. Critical faults, E-Stops, enable-run, etc will (should) stop the pump. If you consider that hydraulic systems operate in the thousands of PSI, you can stop the pump and still have residual pressure blow out. This is exacerbated by any hydraulic accumulators or pistons that get compressed by gravity from lack of pressure. Fire sensors are tricky. Most work by either particle detection from ash and smoke, or by heat. Place a heat sensor too close above a machine and you may get frequent false alarms, and I've yet to see an industrial facility install particle detectors due to how common it is for them to have a lot of junk in the air that will also set false alarms. Pressure activated safety valves though, that's trickier. You can use something akin to a standard blowoff valve, but again it would have to contend with residual pressure and i can't see it being reliable for stopping flow immediately (those designs are reliable for overpressure scenarios, though). Your other option is an electronically controlled normally closed valve with hydraulic pressure sensors, which many hydraulic powered machines already have for run-enable and e-stop purposes. You still have the same issue of residual blowout. I am curious about the design of this machine as I question why that tubing on top of that piston is in such an awful spot to work on, inspect, and is moving so much. That is what hoses are for. Hydraulic lines don't just blow out of nowhere. You (should) have blowoff valves for overpressure scenarios, and lines should be getting inspected for wear and tear on a regular basis. I see poor design and lack of or inability to perform inspections on that fitting as contributing. Thankfully it seems no injuries or loss of life was involved in this accident.

The machines and materials did not care about anything, it’ll take your life in a blink of an eye. Edit: didn’t notice this was gonna get this much attention. Correction. It’s not that metal is flammable but it’s with a bunch of other flammable things. So with the pressure of the metal cutting it could be easy to catch on fire. Once the metal catches fire which it could. It’s almost impossible to put out the flame in a drum full of shavings.

Aluminum dust is highly flammable and it burns very, very hot. When we were kids we were making flammable liquid from number of substances (that I would not mention to not give idiots like little me an idea) and the aluminum powder was absolutely essential component to raise the combustion temperature to the point that fire would melt through metal plate. I used to work as a design engineer with flammable and explosive fluids. The safety rules are very, very strict. Even paranoid I would say. Unfortunately they are often broken. Thus we got things like this. Or worse, when hydrogen or oxygen are involved. With hydrogen in particular it is a very energetic explosion with no warning or anything.

Fun fact, the guy on the left is using an oxyacetylene torch to cut the steel band on those steel coils and the 2 tanks are on a 3 wheeled cart. Acetylene is dissolved in acetone and the other tank is oxygen which is pressurized in the 2-3,000 PSI range but the acetylene is no more 15 PSI because it explodes at even slightly elevated pressure so they're standing next to a thermobaric bomb when the flamethrower starts and I don't believe there's anyway it survived for more than seconds after the end of the video so even though the desk got burned up a much worse event followed shortly thereafter.
@bskull32322 ай бұрын
Compared with the thermal energy stored in tons of molten metal, that tank of acetylene is ignorable. At that scale, it would be no more than a wimpy puff compared with that the molten aluminum can do. If you drop a ladle of iron slags into a pit of water, you get steam cooked in an instant, that's assuming no chemical reactions occur. Aluminum can explode when contacting with water at sufficient scale, just like sodium. A few days ago a water-aluminum explosion happened somewhere in China. Let's just say, a few tons of molten aluminum having a coulomb explosion is no joke. Even just a tiny fraction, maybe just a few kilos reacted, the explosion reduced the 1000+ sqm warehouse into mangled metal, and everything at the epicenter into pieces. Gram for gram, coulomb explosion is comparable to that of a high explosive.

I doubt those things would help given the amount and weight of flaming debris falling on 200 pounds of acetone and however much acetylene was left given how unstable it is to heat and pressure.

@@kwinterburn, as an undergrad chemist in the 1970s, doing stupidly dangerous things with chemicals was standard weekend entertainment in the dorms. Thermite was popular; we'd ignite a ring of it on concrete and watch the shock fronts ripple around it. It's a wonder none of us got seriously burned or went blind. Setting off acetylene bombs (which can be made with a rubber balloon, a masking tape fuse, and two common household products!) was another fun way to risk life and limb. Sometimes I wonder how any human survives past age 22. 🙃

@darkshadowsx5949 I nearly covered myself in drain cleaner when I was 25. Poured some in the U bend and no sooner had I turned around to leave, it exploded out of the plug hole. It had reacted instantly with whatever was in the bend. The place was a new build so the builders must have been pouring alsorts in there. Needless to say, it cleared it and I didn't get any on me. I've only ever used salt and boiling water to clean a drain since that incident.

@@mikeh2006 Someone told me that if you mix brake fluid and powdered chlorine it would catch fire. We did it mixed up in a coffee can nothing happened so we dumped it the trash can went inside to play video games Intellivision yes this was the 1980's. My mother yelled the trashcan is on fire!!!! We went running out I pulled the can away from the house put it out with the hose. Later in school chemistry teacher told us the fumes was same as mustard gas if we had breathed it probably scarred our lungs.

Who else remembers that 2003 nightclub fire in Rhode Island, when a hard rock band's pyrotechnics ignited the ceiling above? That one was 6 minutes from the time of ignition to when the building was fully engulfed, with 100 killed and 230 injured. This shop fire moved much more quickly. These workers were lucky to escape with their lives.

Yup, I remember that.

Yeah, I remember that video. If you weren’t out of the building in 40 seconds then your chances of surviving that fire was close to zero.
