Emergency venting prevents an explosion during a fire or other emergency. All third-party laboratory standards except UL 80 include emergency relief provisions, since these tanks are designed for atmospheric pressure conditions. 

For some other types of emergency relief, such as dust explosion relief of relatively weak vessels, it is common practice to size the relief system to limit the pressure to that which will cause deformation but not failure of the vessel. If an explosion occurs, the deformed vessel can be replaced. Great care should be taken before applying such principles to pressure vessels for the following reasons ...
