Using maximum experimental safe gap to select flame arresters
TL;DR: In this article, the use and possible misuse of Maximum Experimental Safe Gap (MESG) in selecting deflagration and detonation flame arresters (DDAs) was discussed.

Additive influence on maximum experimental safe gap of ethylene-air mixtures
TL;DR: In this paper, the maximum experimental safe gap (MESG) of ethylene-air mixtures diluted with inert gas (argon, nitrogen or carbon dioxide) was measured at variable inert mole fractions and variable initial pressures.

Using CHETAH to estimate lower flammable limit, minimum ignition energy, and other flammability parameters
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple expression for the relationship between ΔHox and parameters commonly used in process safety was derived and the commercially available computer program CHETAH was used to solve these expressions and outputs the flammability parameters plus the internally generated thermodynamic data used in the solutions.
Impact of extremely cold temperatures on the safety of flameproof motors
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify some of the potential issues with the standard relevant to this situation, in particular when supporting data is lacking, and provide recommendations for changes to the next edition of the standard, information on how to improve testing processes (particularly for motors), and tools to predict likely pressures to be obtained in flameproof motors at normal and extremely low temperatures.

The maximum experimental safe gap: The effects of oxygen enrichment and the influence of reaction kinetics
TL;DR: In this paper, the maximum experimental safe gap (MESG) for several flammable gases with oxygen-enriched air was measured and the results demonstrate that oxygen enrichment has a marked effect on the value of the MESG which decreases as the oxygen enrichment increases.
