Abstract:

In Nitro Glycerine production, due to its sensitiveness there is need for its immediate disposal. The only test NG is being subjected to, before its use is Abel Heat Test and it is confirmed that the NG is passing this stability test. Due to various reasons, the test values have become incomprehensible, failing occasionally, irrationally denying all logic, making it a dilemma for the producer. A lot of anxiety and helplessness are created due to delay in consumption of NG, increasing the exposure time. Can we find out a solution
