Explovent, a division of C/S Construction Specialties, is inviting you to join
a free webinar about “Explosion relief systems for low strength enclosures”!
Introduction:
The
issue of venting violent overpressures is a critical one for owners of
facilities where potentially explosive atmospheres, materials, and processes
exist including combustible dust. Recent statistics indicate that the average
damage due to explosions in industrial establishments is approximately $3.4
million, compared to $210,000 for an
average fire. The possibility of an explosion occurring must be seen as a real
concern considering only three common elements must be in place for an event to
occur: ignition source, a fuel, and confinement. As obvious as it sounds, even fine dust
particles and a spark can create an explosive atmosphere. We might not think of this, but if something
can burn, it can likely explode.
An
explosion vent is designed to be the weakest part of the external structure. As
the explosion vent experiences the pressure rise, it opens quickly allowing the
rapidly expanding heated gases to be released to the outside. By doing so, the
internal walls, floor, and ceiling are spared from the damaging overpressure
experienced during a deflagration.
To
successfully limit damage to the vented area, vent design and the pressure
resistant structure must be in keeping with guideline authority
recommendations. As such, C/S Explovent® explosion relief systems have been
designed in accordance with the NFPA 68 Venting of Deflagrations guideline and
Factory Mutual 1-44 Damage Limiting Construction document. Explovent® has been
tested, approved, and labelled by Factory Mutual and tested and approved by the
Canadian Center for Mineral and Energy Technology
for explosion relief applications.
Participants will learn:
- What explosion relief is
- What industries have a true need for explosion venting products
- Types of explosions & catalysts as they relate to the industry
- Why explosion venting should be specified
- Code drivers & their impact on today's specifiers
- Overview of available explosion venting products
