Download or read book Process Vessels Subject to Explosion Risk written by British Materials Handling Board and published by IChemE. This book was released on 2000 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work contains guidelines which provide available information as to the pressure capabilities of relatively weak process vessels in the event of an internal explosion. The process industries wanted for a long time a structured method of manufacturing equipment that may be subject to dust explosions - enabling suitably proceted plant to withstand a transient explosion. Despite not covering all situations, this guide should help engineers calculate the strength of weak vessels and thus enable explosion venting and suppression systems to have a more consistent foundation and remove many of the difficultites associated with lack of knowledge of vessel strength.
