Explosions

American Metallurgical Consultants specializes in materials failure analysis, explosions, and industrial accident investigation.  Our engineers provide on site accident investigation of chemical plant explosions, boilers, natural gas pipelines, and gas cylinders

An explosion failure investigation involves determining the root cause of the explosion.  Oxygen and fuel (gasoline, liquefied propane, natural gas, etc.) must be present in the proper proportions for an explosion to occur.  There also must be a event that ignites the oxygen/fuel mixture to create the explosion.
