Course Description: AEC Daily: Explosion Relief Systems for Low-Strength Enclosures
Explosion relief systems reduce damage and loss when an explosion occurs within facilities where potentially dangerous material is being handled or produced. These systems function by immediately reducing pressure during an explosion and are imperative to protecting a company’s assets and employees. Explosion relief systems are also referred to as explosion relief panels, pressure relief panels, or explosion relief vents. This course discusses pressure relief in low-strength enclosures, industries requiring pressure relief venting, and the function, design, and installation of these systems.
Determine which industries and facilities require explosion relief systems.
Discuss the codes applicable to explosion venting in Canada and the US.
Explain how an explosion relief system functions.
Identify primary and secondary explosion risks within a building.
Demonstrate how to calculate vent area within a facility.
Describe the differences between basic and engineered vent panels.
