Calculation for explosion venting of reaction vessels
Thread Content
Generally, how is the size of the explosion vent in our reaction vessels calculated? Are there any requirements for this?
It is calculated based on the amount of leakage; the process engineering team needs to determine the overpressure conditions taking various factors into account. Refer to the calculation of the safety valve discharge volume.
There is a fixed formula, but it is also necessary to consult a coefficient table based on the medium used; first, the length-to-diameter ratio must be calculated, and only if this ratio is less than 3 can the blast venting area be determined.
