Typical blast dampers are sized to match HVAC ductwork and provide proper airflow with low pressure drop.Common applications include protecting equipment and personnel of control rooms and accommodation modules in petrochemical and industrial process facilities onshore and offshore.
Explosion protection is used to protect all sorts of buildings and civil engineering infrastructure against internal and external explosions or deflagrations. It was widely believed [ 1 ] until recently that a building subject to an explosive attack had a chance to remain standing only if it possessed some extraordinary resistive capacity.
The Defeat of the Floating Batteries at Gibraltar [1] (also called The Siege of Gibraltar, [2] The Siege and Relief of Gibraltar or The Repulse of the Floating Batteries at Gibraltar [3]) is the title of a 1791 oil-on-canvas painting by Boston-born American artist John Singleton Copley.
A rupture disc (burst) Pressure-effect acting at a rupture disc A rupture disc, also known as a pressure safety disc, burst disc, bursting disc, or burst diaphragm, is a non-reclosing pressure relief safety device that, in most uses, protects a pressure vessel, equipment or system from overpressurization or potentially damaging vacuum conditions.
An explosion vent or rupture panel [1] [2] is a safety device to protect equipment or buildings against excessive internal, explosion-incurred pressures, by means of pressure relief. An explosion vent will relieve pressure from the instant its opening (or activation) pressure p stat has been exceeded.
Explosion-proofing designs equipment to contain ignition hazards, prevent entry of hazardous substances, and, contain any fire or explosion that could occur. Different countries have approached the standardization and testing of equipment for hazardous areas in different ways. Terminology for both hazards and protective measures can vary.
From 1950 there was a formaldehyde production factory just north of Mold, operated by Synthite Limited. In order to maintain rail connection to the company’s sidings, goods trains ran from Mold and over the WM&CQR connection at Pen-y-ffordd to Wrexham. That traffic came to an end so far as rail movements were concerned on 15 March 1983.
Explosion temperature is 3141 K, energy of explosion is 5612 kJ/kg (or 3400 - 4000 kJ/kg per various sources) and volume of explosion gases at STP is calculated to be 826 L/kg. Loose powder has density close to 0.4 g/cm 3 , hence the common detonation velocities are closer to 3000 m/s and P cj is closer to 15 kbar.
