It is intended that the standard applies to silane storage and use re-gardless of the size of the container with the exception of small containers of 0.5 standard cubic feet (scf) or less that are commonly found in laboratory operations.

Silane containers include tube trailers, International Organization for Standardization (ISO) modules, cylinder packs with manifolded cylinders, and individual cylinders. Silane mixes containing other hazardous components (e.g., toxics) …

At normal temperature and pressure, silane is a colorless gas. It is a pyrophoric gas, which means that it undergoes spontaneous combustion in air. Above 788°F (420°C/693.15 K), silane breaks down into silicon and hydrogen.

Jun 1, 2008 · Investigation was performed for a failure of a silane cylinder valve in an silane explosion incident. Materials analysis and simulating tests were conducted to find out the cause of the failure.

May 21, 2024 · The use of liner valves on systems containing silane is not permitted. Only unlined diaphragm or bellows valves should be used. A flow control valve or flow switch should be installed on all distribution systems to shut off the gas flow in the event of a streamline rupture.

Protecting the integrity of silane gas delivery systems—and the workers who operate them—is integral to the safe, efficient production of semiconductor and microelectronic components. 703-330-5094 Request for Quote

The “pops” can occur when a small amount of Silane trapped behind the valve cap or pigtail is released. In a few cases they have been severe enough to cause Handwheel eardrum rupture. Wire z A severe explosion was reported to have occurred in the US in 1977.

It is intended that this standard applies to storage and use of silane containers with the exception of small containers with 0.5 scf (14 L) or less of silane content. This standard governs the installation of systems and sources that are used to store, …

Silane is a pyrophoric gas (i.e. it may spontaneously ignite when exposed to air) commonly used in semiconductor fabrication. However, it does not always ignite immediately upon exposure to the atmosphere. Lack of instantaneous ignition can.

It is intended that this standard applies to storage and use of silane containers with the exception of small con-tainers with 0.5 scf (14 L) or less of silane content. This standard governs the installation of systems and sources that are used to store, …
