Overview
NFPA-68-2007 “Standard on Explosion Protection by Deflagration Venting” is the
standard to use for designing explosion (deflagration) vents of enclosures or
buildings where combustible dusts are handled or processed. This course will
cover how to size deflagration vents to meet the NFPA 68 requirements. Sizing
requirements, including input parameters, for deflagration vents (high pressure
and low pressure enclosures) will be explained. In addition, instruction will
be provided for completing the calculations using our proprietary
software—SuperChems™. SuperChems™ incorporates the NFPA 68 short-cut methods as
well as the experimental data and mathematical model developed by Bradley and
Mitcheson for high pressure enclosures. These dynamic models simulate what
happens in the vessel during a deflagration event, and are suitable for higher
pressure-rated equipment.
