Experimental decompression testing of an acetylene containing cylinder

The paper presents the possibilities of using a high-speed measuring camera in experimental tests of decompression of acetylene cylinders in a fire environment. Optical measuring technique was used in the tests. One of the main goals of the experiment was to calculate the energy that the fragments of an exploding cylinder would have during a fire that led to the explosion. In addition, the proposed solution was used to present the advantages and difficulties resulting from the use of measuring equipment in the planned experiment. On this basis, the research methodology was developed and verified. The values of the safety zone for the research team were determined, the manner and the rules of fracturing of this type of steel cylinders were determined.
