INTERNAL NATURAL GAS EXPLOSIONS

The design pressure is the maximum of:

pd = 3 + pv

pd = 3 + 0.5 pv+0,04/(Av/V)2

pd = nominal equivalent static pressure [kN/m2]

 Av = area of venting components [m2]

V = volume of room [m3]

Validity: V < 1000 m3 ; 0,05 m-1 < Av / V < 0,15 m-1

EN 1991-1-7: valuable document,
