A temporary LP-gas facility means outdoor LP-gas facilities in public venues such as boothes or food stalls. As temporary LP-gas facility is not an object of mandatory inspection, it is neccesary to develop an effective strategy of safety management. In this study, the direction of safety management strategy is analyzed through a survey and analysis of risk factor about gas facilities in a booth and stall. Some improved directions are suggested such as the use of pipeline and common gas storage. It is expected that the results of this study could help to improve LP-gas efficiency management.

Factors to cause accidents were investigated through a systematic analysis of leakage accidents in welded LP-gas cylinder between 199 and 1999. As a result It was showed that most of leakage accident occurred at the pin-hole due to the localized corrosion on welded zone in cylinder. Accordingly, in this paper, we suggested that the problems of heat treatment condition in two-piece welded cylinder and substitute proposal for preventing the tearing of T zone in three-piece welded cylinder. Furthermore, corrosion rate on the weldment and base metal of welded LP-gas cylinder was evaluated using the electrochemical tests in acid rain and $3.5\%NaCl$ solution, Also, the poor adhesion and defects of film which was produced by electrostatic powder spray painting, while the LP-gas cylinder was manufactured, were analyzed using SEM(Scanning Electron Microscopy). And we proposed a optimum coating thickness of the cylinder.

This study introduced concept of safety valve about development of valve for LP gas cylinders. LP gas cylinders are used more because of convenience of use, but a lot of accidents are occurred. Specially, it is used by purpose to injure glossary or others and is sometimes used to a demonstration tool. Korean government was making mandatory to use overuse cutoff valve to reduce accident, but it is real condition that product development is not following. In this study, introduce concept of safety valve that introduce more original safety concept than overuse cutoff valve. This was developed by method that insert module to present use valve and flowing of gas is controlled in state that hose or regulator un-connects to valve. Also, flowing of gas cut-off immediately if hose is cut or occurrence of overuse is produced even if is using normally.

The explosion phenomenon and hazard estimate of LP gas, the study was examined into variation of oxygen concentration and LP gas concentration. As the result of experiment, the lower explosive limit was decreased as the increased at concentration of LP gas and 21% of oxygen concentration. Minimum oxygen concentration was 14.5%. 12.0%, 11.5% at 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 bar respectively. And maximum explosion pressure was increased for $6.46kg/cm^2,\;9.41kg/cm^2\;and\;13.49kg/cm^2$ according to increased of pressure. The speed of flame propagation was increased as the higher with initial pressure of LP gas.

An experimental study was carried out to investigate the emission characteristics of LP gas burner for the Practical combustion conditions including fm voltage, inlet area, gas Pressure, emission resistance, duct length and height. The result shows that CO is almost remains constant for the emission fan voltage, but significantly increases with the reduction rate of air inlet, up to 3000ppm at 50% of reduction rate. Also, the variation of gas pressure has no effect to CO of gas boiler due to its governor which controls gas pressure secondly, but it gives an rapid increase of CO for the gas range. The emission resistance test shows that CO is suddenly increased with the reduction rate of emission duct above 70% and main burner is stopped at 90%. The reverse wind test shows that CO is suddenly increased with the air velocity above 7m/s and main burner is stopped at 9m/s. The more horizontal length of emission duct is long and the vertical height is low, CO is infinitesimally increased.

The facilities using LP gas in camping vehicles, which are exposed to safety problems due to the proliferation of domestic leisure culture, are not subject to statutory inspection so, effective safety management measures are needed because the subject or method of safety management is ambiguous. In this study, we tried to propose the safety management measures through the deduction of representative types of camping vehicles, research on the actual condition of LPG facilities in camping vehicles and investigation and review of relevant regulations. Through the results of this study, we expect to contribute to the improvement of the safety management efficiency and safety of facilities using LP gas in domestic camping vehicles.

This study is a research of safety valve development for LP gas cylinder which use sintering metal. Re-searcher wishes to apply technology of sintering metal for safety valve development and do gas flow control. The basis of this study is most suitable fluid examination that to reduce gas accident. This research concluded following results. 1. When press pin length is 42mm to 45mm powder quantity is 0.25g, in case of press pin length 36mm to 42mm powder quantity is 0.2g, displayed fluid optimization. 2. When press pin length is 39mm and powder quantity is 0.25g, press pressure displayed fluid optimization at all interests from $1.2\;tons/cm^{2}\;to\;2\;tons/cm^{2}$. 3. When apparent density is about $5.0g/cm^{3}\;to\;4.5g/cm^{3}$, fluid optimization becomes.
