Metal ignition is a safety hazard of considerable concern in oxygen systems used in chemical processes. This is particularly the case where energy is imparted to the fluid since an accidental rub of moving mechanical parts can easily lead to very high energy inputs to a metal in a high pressure oxygen environment. Valves and piping in oxygen systems are also of concern since they have ignited under conditions which are not well documented.
