Blast Hazard

Liquid carbon monoxide in the presence of nitrous oxide poses blast hazards. [Pg.280]

Substances and articles that have a projection hazard but not a mass explosion hazard Substances and articles that have a fire hazard and either a minor blast hazard or a minor projection hazard but not a mass explosion hazard Substances and articles that present no significant hazard Very insensitive substances that have a mass explosion hazard Extremely insensitive articles which do not have a mass explosion hazard...

In the first approach, a vapor cloud s potential explosive power is proportionally related to the total quantity of fuel present in the cloud, whether or not it is within flammable limits. This approach is the basis of conventional TNT-equivalency methods, in which the explosive power of a vapor cloud is expressed as an energetically equivalent charge of TNT located in the cloud s center. The value of the proportionality factor, that is, TNT equivalency, is deduced from damage patterns observed in a large number of vapor cloud explosion incidents. Consequently, vapor cloud explosion-blast hazard assessment on the basis of TNT equivalency may have limited utility. [Pg.247]

The decision regarding blast resistant requirements is made by the owner, typically through standard practice or by following a site specific methodology as described in CCPS Building Guidelines or API RP-752. Both decision mechanisms may employ a plant classification or categorization approach based on the severity of blast hazards. [Pg.145]
