В настоящее время прогнозирование пожаровзрывоопасности веществ и материалов является одним из способов решения проблемы дефицита данных в этой области, поэтому данные исследования являются At present, the forecast of fire and explosion hazard of substances and materials is one of the ways to solve the problem of data deficiency in this area, therefore, these studies are relevant. In this context, the critical analysis and explanations of the work of A.A. Kostin, Yu.M. Litvinov and M.V. Korolkov «On the Relationship of Fire and Explosion Hazard with the Structure in the Series of Organic Compounds» emphasize the importance of the studies performed.
As a result of the critical analysis, the number of arguable points have been revealed about the role of the flash point in ensuring fire and explosion safety of industrial enterprises, and the need to forecast the fire and explosion hazard of organic compounds. It is noted that the contradictory and varied application of fire and explosion hazard indicator — flash point is due to the evolution of origin and the development of this characteristic, which is dated back to the kerosene era. It is shown that the proposed modifications of Ormandy — Craven equation have limitations for the stated scope of application. The number of engineering deficiencies are noted that were made by the authors when conducting the comparative analysis using «carbon chain rule» method. In general, the QSPR-study merits approval.
