Investigation new material based on silicon carbide for manufacture of fire and explosion protection

Abstract

To measure the concentration of combustible gases, continuous operation devices based on the thermocatalytic principle have become very widespread. Studies have been carried out on the feasibility of manufacturing a fire and explosion protection device of such a device from a composite material instead of the nickel powder currently used. The porosity of the material and its effect on the strength characteristics are evaluated. A significant decrease in the complexity of manufacturing the product and its cost is shown when the indicators of strength and gas permeability are consistent.
