Abstract
Abstract Self-accelerating decomposition temperatures derived from accelerating rate calorimetry measurements and heat accumulation or Dewar tests are compared with those from the definitive United States self-accelerating decomposition temperature test. Neither simulation is biased on average relative to the United States test. However, the use of the accelerating rate calorimeter, as recently proposed, or the Dewar test, as currently recommended, to estimate self-accelerating decomposition temperatures requires wide safety margins to be applied. Closer and more consistent agreement with US test results is achieved by estimating self-accelerating decomposition temperatures from accelerating rate calorimeter and thermal activity monitor data together.
