Reasons for Installing Explosion Relief Boards in Hazardous Areas
Date:2019-04-08 Views:1564
Explosion relief boards are installed in numerous buildings. In the event of an explosion, their explosion-proof performance can largely protect people's safety and property security. Generally, the benefits of using explosion relief boards not only lie in safeguarding personal safety, but also in providing thermal insulation. Moreover, these boards feature novel designs and boast great ornamental value.
Explosion relief boards are mainly used in areas with potential explosion risks or spaces under high pressure, which can prevent accidents that cause property damage and personal injury due to explosions. Typical applications include fire and explosion-proof zones in chemical engineering, pharmaceutical, military industry, aerospace manufacturing and other industries.
Explosion Relief Principle of Explosion Relief Boards
An explosion is an extremely rapid chemical or physical change process of a substance. During this process, enormous heat is released rapidly and a large amount of gas is generated. At this moment, the gas is confined in a limited space in an instant, resulting in an extremely high pressure that exerts a strong force on objects around the explosion point. The explosion occurs when the high-pressure gas expands rapidly.
In case of an indoor deflagration, the confined explosion pressure can release the critical pressure in an instant through building components such as explosion relief boards. Meanwhile, by buffering and blocking the mass of explosion fragments and the impact force of the explosion, these boards can effectively reduce the probability of personal injury and property damage caused by explosion shock waves and fragments. Additionally, explosion relief boards can control and isolate the large fire caused by explosions, so as to prevent the surrounding buildings from being affected.
Explosion relief boards are made from natural mineral resources. They are composed of selected quartz powder, mica, perlite, high-quality plant fibers, various mineral fibers, supplemented by cement and special fire-resistant additives. Adopting the advanced flow-on process for production and undergoing high-temperature and high-pressure autoclaving treatment, they form green, healthy and energy-saving lightweight building fire-resistant boards with a highly stable tobermorite crystal structure as the main component.
