This is a novel idea: replacing highly dangerous and complex testing of solid thermally reactive materials through smart technology. We investigated the prediction of the storage lifetime and the thermal impact of thermally reactive material by different thermal analysis models: differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) for non-isothermal tests versus DSC isothermal tests. Two kinds of kinetic models were compared for evaluating appropriate kinetic parameters of thermal decomposition, and then the thermal hazard parameters were estimated by cartridge package simulation, which could result in reliable thermal hazard properties of a thermal reactive materialâs thermal decomposition. We also determined the unsafe characteristics of a thermally reactive material stored in a depot under lifetime, so as to prevent runaway reactions that induce incidents by heat attack during storage. We were interested in an effective and smart analysis technology to reduce energy consumption of the dangerous testing. There are also calls for a smart testing technology which is the achieved object here for reducing energy consumption and avoiding runaway reaction disaster of thermally reactive materials.
