LTC; Gemnus Boeing Project Contract No.EVE-16-2929 <br /> Technologyi Development CEI Project No. 160731 <br /> 3.3.2 LEL Measured Data <br /> Volatile concentration measurements from Hangar 45-04 are available for direct comparison. <br /> Measurements taken in Hangars 45-04 [5] are shown in Figure 46. Details on the specifics of the <br /> PPM and % of LEL measurements are difficult to determine from the reference, but the % of <br /> LEL measurements are still useful in checking the CFD-derived values for consistency— i.e., are <br /> the CFD-generated % of LEL values in the same range overall at approximately the same <br /> measurement locations. A comparison can be made with the following caveats: <br /> • Differences in the painting process during the measurements and CFD <br /> computations: The CFD model assumes a clear coat being applied in the 45-04 <br /> while the % of LEL measurements were taken during primer application in the <br /> 45-04 and one point during solvent cleaning in 45-04. The Primer constituents <br /> used during % of LEL measurements are described as "The primer is a blend of a <br /> proprietary epoxy resin, crystalline silica, strontium chromate, methyl amyl <br /> ketone (heptan-2-one), xylene (dimethylbenzene), methyl isobutyl ketone (4- <br /> Methyl-2-pentanone, Isopropylacetone, Hexone, Isobutyl methyl ketone, 2- <br /> Methylpropyl methyl ketone, 4-Methyl-2-oxopentane, MIK, Isobutylmethyl <br /> ketone, MIBK, or Isohexanone) and aluminum oxide" [5]. Volume or weight <br /> fractions are not specified. Thus the primer in use during % of LEL <br /> measurements does contain heptan-2-one and other flammable compounds. <br /> • Differences in where the stackers (and paint application) were located between <br /> the 45-04 simulation and the 45-04 measurements <br /> 50 <br />
