Oxygen is very flammable. Whether or not particular types of equipment would explode depends on the equipment and how near the flame is. Always read all cautionary literature with any specialized equipment.
Flame-proof equipment is designed to prevent the ignition of explosive gases or vapors present in the surrounding environment. It is commonly used in industries where there is a risk of flammable gases being present, such as oil refineries, chemical plants, and mining operations. Flame-proof equipment is constructed to contain any potential explosion within the device itself, minimizing the risk of a larger explosion.
The flame of a candle requires oxygen to continue burning. When you cut off the air supply, the flame is deprived of oxygen which is essential for the combustion process. Without oxygen, the flame cannot sustain itself and eventually dies out.
This occurs only when the flame is robbed of oxygen.
Carbon dioxide is a heavy gas that displaces oxygen, which is necessary for a flame to burn. By pouring carbon dioxide over the flame, the oxygen around the flame is depleted, causing the flame to be extinguished.
A flame is not extinguished when a wire gauze is placed on top of it because the flame is still exposed to oxygen. The gauze has holes, through which oxygen can flow. Additionally, oxygen can reach the flame from under the gauze. Consequently, the flame is not extinguished.
Hydrogen is the element commonly used in balloons that can be explosive when mixed with oxygen in the presence of a spark or flame.
Yes. Explosive when mixed with oxygen or fluorine and even chlorine gas. Hydrogen is flammable. It burns in air or oxygen.
Hydrogen is an explosive gas that can react violently with oxygen in the presence of a spark or flame, forming water and releasing energy in the process.
For the TEMPORARY transport of portable medical oxygen containers it is permitted. However (in the US) bottled Oxygen is considered an explosive danger (oxygen itself is not explosive but exposed to flame the rapid accelerant nature of oxygen is an explosive reaction). It would be foohardy at best and reckless at worst to make this a regular practice.
Any flame or electric spark will trigger this explosive reaction!
you can put out a flame in it no problem

By explosive action/explosion.
Sulfur burns with a blue flame when it reacts with oxygen.
By splitting/explosive method.
One that will not reliably detonate from heat/flame, but requires the energy of a donor explosive to detonate.
