Flammable Storage Cabinets: Safety and Handling Guidelines
One of the most popular laboratory safety systems is flammable storage cabinets. This form of protection system is designed to keep combustibles away from open flames and high-heat sources. Its initial goal is to prevent flammables kept within the flammable storage cabinet from catching fire or exploding due to their distance from strong heat sources. Finally, it manages the release of flammables through valves that restrict quantities to a trickle into the processing equipment downstream. The flammable storage cabinet keeps combustibles at bay by keeping them away from open flames and high-heat sources (e.g., heating elements, Bunsen burners). The combustibles are stored in the flammable storage cabinet via a mesh grid that prevents the flow of flammables until they move through an opened door to be utilized in processing equipment beyond. Safety and Handling Tips To prevent mishaps, flammable storage cabinets have many safety measures incorporated into their design: 1. It's cr
