Fragments, boiling-liquid-expanding-vapor explosion

BLEVEs (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosions) A pressurized tank of VCM or associated piping exposed to an external fire may fail due to metallurgical weakening. Such failure may result in a catastrophic tank failure, a fireball and the potential for rocketing fragments. Relief valve overpressure protection will not prevent a BLEVE. [Pg.20]
