Note:

This calculator helps determine the burn rate, which represents the concentration of a released substance per cubic meter per hour. It is an important factor in fire safety and hazardous material management, as it helps assess the risk of fire, explosion, or toxic exposure in an enclosed space.

• Rate of Release (kg/hr): This refers to the amount of a substance (gas, vapor, or particulate) that is released into the space every hour.
  • It is measured in kilograms per hour (kg/hr).
  • A higher rate of release means more substance is accumulating in the space, increasing the potential hazard.
• Volume of Space (m³): This is the total enclosed volume where the released substance disperses.
  • It is measured in cubic meters (m³).
  • Larger spaces allow better dispersion and lower concentration, reducing risk.
  • Smaller spaces with poor ventilation can lead to a higher accumulation of the substance, increasing the danger.
• Burn Rate (kg/m³ per hour): The result of the calculation shows how much of the substance accumulates per cubic meter per hour.
  • A higher burn rate indicates a higher concentration of the substance in the air, increasing fire, explosion, or health risks.
  • Fire safety regulations often set threshold values for hazardous substances to ensure safe working conditions.
  • Proper ventilation, air filtration, or controlled release mechanisms can help reduce the burn rate and improve safety.

Click "Calculate Burn Rate" to determine the concentration of the released substance in the given space. Understanding and managing this value is crucial for workplace safety, fire prevention, and environmental compliance.
