1 Fire Safety in a Laser Lab DOE LSO Workshop Sep 10-12, 2013 R. DeWayne Holcomb, CLSO, CHP Laser Safety Manager University of Texas at Austin
2 Info Began working in the Laser and Radiation Safety field in 1987, after leaving the US Navy. Past Experience: NASA-Ames Research Center UC Berkeley University of Cincinnati DOE Honeywell
3 Laser Program Extremes Police State Lockdown!!
4 Laser Program Extremes Bon Jovi Program Living on a Prayer
5 Topics Fire Safety Objectives Fire hazard and Ignition Hazards Standards Laser Barriers Observations
6 Fire Safety Objectives Avoiding hazardous conditions from fire in: Laser components, Optical Path, target, lab materials Clothing of persons near lab Building materials Ignition of Flammable chemicals and gases Production of smoke, irritants, toxins
7 Fire Safety Objectives Life Safety Access into lab during an emergency Medical Fire Other crisis Egress from Lab to hallways and exits Primary and Secondary exits Lab equipment / pathways Laser Curtains, barriers
8 Fire Safety Objectives Life Safety Work Environment Property Access Facility/Building Access Population on premises
9 Fire Safety Fire Codes / Institutional Policies Fire Prevention Control Systems Smoke Detection Heat Detection Alarms
10 Fire Safety Fire Suppression Equipment Automated Local or General manual
11 Fire and Ignition Hazards General Laser Fire Hazards Class 4 Lasers Lab and building materials Combustible materials
12 Fire and Ignition Hazards Specific Fire Hazards Ignitable chemicals Flammable gases and vapors Toxic smoke or fumes Unusual target / samples Lower power laser ignition
13 Fire and Ignition Hazards Ignition issues in Labs Flammable chemicals / materials Ignition sources Combustible materials in lab Room, building, construction Laser table, barriers, curtains
14 Fire and Ignition Basics Fuel, Oxygen, Heat, Reaction Temperature of flammable substance Lower/Upper Limit for Flammable Atmosphere Flash, Fire, Boiling, Auto-ignition points
15 Fire and Ignition Hazards Fire Basics Temperature Points Flash Point: Temporary flash flame from ignition Fire Point: Sustained burning from Ignition - > 5 sec Boiling Point: Liquid vapor pressure > air Auto-ignition: Vapors ignite without ignition source
16 Fire and Ignition - Lasers Combustible materials Class 4 lasers 10 W/cm2 or 0.5 W (ANSI) Typical office, lab, building materials Flammable materials Class 3B lasers 0.5 W/cm2 (NFPA) Create flammable atmosphere Small ignition source needed
17 Standards/Guides ANSI Z Part Class 4 lasers 10 W/cm 2 or 0.5 W are hazards 3B lasers as Flammable Gas ignition source Most barriers have limited protection times References NFPA 115
18 Standards/Guides NFPA 115 (1989) Chapter 5 Laser Beam Potential Eval Class 4 laser 0.5 W/cm 2 List of factors Chapter 6 Laser Beam Ignition Refers to ANSI Z136.1 Appropriate beam stop Beam intensity profile Chapter 7 Laser Equipment Chapter 8 Flammable Gases
19 Standards/Guides Study of Flammable Gas Ignition NIOSH Methane/Particle Study ~1999 EU IEC TC31/WG8 study ~2000
20 Standards/Guides IEC Ignition Risk due to Optical Radiation (2006) Laser induced ignition above 50mW Set 35mW limit for flammable atmosphere 5mW/mm 2 for beams < 7mm diameter Explosion groups
21 Standards/Guides IEC (continued) (2006) Ignition graph of power and beam area Large disparity of ignition points
22 Laser Barriers Commercial products Specific for laser controls Laser Tested and Certified Large selection Alternate materials Not specific to Laser use Not tested or certified May have great properties Availability / Cost effective Gypsum (Calcium Sulfate Di-hydrate)
23 Laser Barrier Standards ANSI Z136.7 Laser Protective Equipment 3.6, 4.4.5, 6.3 (2008) Focus is absorber OD and eyewear 100 sec protection, 3mm to 10mm beam Barrier labeling requirements Appendix F testing details Rating = highest irradiance w/o breakthrough
24 Laser Barriers EU Screens for Laser Workplaces ~1999 Based on 100 sec with 1mm beam Types of exposure categorized Table 1
25 Laser Barriers EU (Continued) Rating in Tiers (decades) in Table 2
26 Barrier Standards Comparison ANSI Z136.7 and EU mm-10mm vs 1mm beam diameter Power Rating actual vs tiered MFG rating specs vs listing preset specs Both use units of irradiance Unit comparison ANSI, NFPA W/cm 2 EU mw/mm 2 EU W/m 2 10mW/mm 2 = 1 W/cm 2 = 10 5 W/m 2
27 Irradiance W/cm2 Barrier Standards Comparison Beam Diameter and Irradiance Beam Irradiance with various diameters mm 3mm 4mm 5mm 6mm NFPA ANSI Laser Power mw
28 Fire Standard for Curtains NFPA 701 Standard Flame Tests for Textiles, Film, etc. Not based on laser tests Any curtain used in occupied spaces Fire Safety / Fire Marshall approval Mfg Certificate of Compliance / Testing Curtain / Barrier / Drape applications Window Coverings Class 3B enclosure Light sensitive enclosure Room delineation
29 Fire Standard for Curtains NFPA 701 Certificate Example
30 Fire Standard for Curtains NFPA 705 Field Test for Textiles, Film etc. Is not directly linked to NFPA 701 Excellent to identify extremes of fabrics Not a replacement for NFPA 701 Limitations of test results
31 Results from Combustion tests from the Laser Curtain Samples
32 Result Summary All of the curtain samples provided were combustible and it is recommended that none of them be used. All samples also gave off thick combustible, choking smoke when exposed to an open flame. Samples B and D continued to burn when the ignition sources was removed It should be remembered that a relatively low temperature ignition source was used. The propane torch flame temperature is lower than a typical paper trash can fire Also remember that the materials would burn better in a lab setting due to the fact smoke and heat cannot escape
33 Sample A
34 Sample B Not only did Sample B burn but it melted, pooled the pool continued to burn
35 Sample C
36 Sample D Sample D continued to burn hot once on the ground and had to be extinguished after burning for several minutes
37 Conclusion It is recommended by both the Laser Safety group and the Fire Prevention that all of these curtains be replaced and no more of this curtain material is used in any of the laser labs on campus.
38 Laser Curtain Test July 16, 2004
39 Blue Sample Initial Flame Exposure
40 Blue Sample Burned while exposed to direct flame contact
41 Blue Sample Did not sustain combustion when flame was removed
42 Black Sample Initial Flame Exposure
43 Black Sample Direct flame contact charred surface but material did not burn
44 Black Sample Did not sustain combustion when flame was removed
45 Black Sample View of surface char
46 Grey Sample Initial flame exposure
47 Grey Sample Flame contact charred surface slightly but material did not burn
48 Grey Sample Did not sustain combustion when flame was removed
49 Grey Sample Direct Flame Contact
50 Grey Sample View of Surface Char
51 Test Summary Grey Sample performed very well. Sample did not burn and produced very little smoke Black Sample also perfomed well. Did not burn and produced mild smoke. Blue Sample did burn when exposed to direct flame contact but did not sustain combustion when flame was removed. Produced more smoke than other samples.
52 Laser Curtain Testing III Aug 23, 2004
53 Black Material This product decomposed and off gassed when exposed to an open flame A large amount of smoke was produced during testing This product is not recommended as a laser curtain at UT
54 Another Black Material This product decomposed and off gassed when exposed to an open flame A large amount of smoke was produced during testing This product is not recommended as a laser curtain at UT
55 This product decomposed and off gassed when exposed to an open flame A large amount of smoke was produced during testing This product CONTINUED TO BURN after exposure to an open flame This product is not recommended as a laser curtain at UT Grey Material
56 None of the products tested are recommended by Environmental Health and Safety for laser curtain material Special thanks to: EHS s Fire Prevention Group
