Synopsis

The process industries have long wanted a structured method of manufacturing equipment that may be subject to dust explosions, that would enable suitably protected plant to withstand a transient explosion. These guidelines provide the best available information on the pressure capabilities of relatively weak process vessels in the event of an internal explosion. Despite not covering all situations, this guide will help engineers to 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 difficulties associated with lack of knowledge of vessel strength.

IChemE, the Institution of Chemical Engineers, is the center for chemical, biochemical and process engineering professionals worldwide.

We are the heart of the process community, promoting competence and a commitment to sustainable development, advancing the discipline for the benefit of society and supporting the professional development of members.

Some of the areas we publish in include:

-Safety in the process industries - the BP Process Safety series

-Consultancy for chemical engineers

-Project management in the process industries

-Contract management in the process industries - International Forms Of Contract series

-Communication skills for engineers
