Explosion venting devices

This European Standard specifies the requirements for venting devices used to protect enclosures against the major effects of internal explosions arising from the rapid burning of suspended dust, vapour or gas contained within. It includes the requirements for the design, inspection, testing, marking, documentation and packaging. This European Standard specifies explosion venting devices which are put on the market as autonomous protective systems.
Explosion venting devices are safety devices comprised of a pressure sensitive membrane fixed to and forming part of the structure that it protects, designed to intervene in the event of an explosion at a predetermined low pressure, to immediately open a vent area sufficient to ensure that the maximum pressure attained by the explosion within the enclosure does not exceed its designed resistance to pressure.
The application and specification of explosion venting devices is outlined for dust explosion protection in EN 14491 and for gas explosion protection in prEN 14994. The use of venting devices according to this European Standard on pipelines and on applications other than described in EN 14491 or prEN 14994 needs to be carefully evaluated and where appropriate their suitability needs to be confirmed by tests.
Flameless explosion venting devices avoid the breakthrough of flames into the surroundings. They are used to allow explosion venting in situations where the hazards of flames resulting from the venting action are not acceptable. Flameless explosion venting devices are treated in a separate standard.
This European Standard does not cover details for the avoidance of ignition sources from detection devices or other parts of the venting devices.

Dispositifs de décharge d'explosion

La présente Norme européenne définit les exigences relatives aux dispositifs de décharge utilisés pour protéger des enceintes contre les principaux effets des explosions internes provenant de la combustion rapide des poussières en suspension, des vapeurs ou des gaz qu’elles contiennent. Elle inclut les exigences relatives à la conception, à l’inspection, aux essais, au marquage, à la documentation et à l’emballage. Cette Norme européenne traite des dispositifs de décharge d’explosion commercialisés en tant que systèmes de protection autonomes.
Les dispositifs de décharge d’explosion sont des dispositifs de sécurité constitués par une membrane sensible à la pression, fixée et intégrée à la structure qu’elle protège. Cette membrane est conçue pour s’ouvrir en cas d’explosion à une basse pression déterminée afin de libérer immédiatement une surface de décharge suffisante pour que la pression maximale atteinte par l’explosion à l’intérieure de l’enceinte n’excède pas sa capacité de résistance à la pression.
L’application et la spécification des dispositifs de décharge d’explosion est décrite dans l’EN 14491 pour la protection contre les explosions de poussières et dans le prEN 14994 pour la protection contre les explosions de gaz. Il est nécessaire d’évaluer attentivement l’utilisation de dispositifs de décharge conformément à la présente Norme européenne pour les canalisations (L/D > 20) et pour des applications autres que celles décrites dans l’EN 14491 ou dans le prEN 14994. Le cas échéant, leur bonne adaptation doit être confirmée par des essais.
Les dispositifs de décharge d’explosion sans flammes permettent d’éviter que la flamme de l’explosion sorte dans l’espace environnant. Ils sont utilisés pour permettre la décharge de l’explosion dans les situations où les effets néfastes qui pourraient être produits par la flamme résultant de cette décharge ne sont pas acceptables. Les dispositifs de décharge d’explosion sans flammes sont traités dans une norme séparée.

SIST EN 14797:2007は、内部で発生する重大な爆発から構造物を保護するための排気装置に関するヨーロッパ規格です。この標準は、懸濁した粉塵、蒸気またはガスの急激な燃焼によって引き起こされる爆発の影響に対応するために設計された排気装置の要件を明確に規定しています。設計、検査、試験、マーキング、文書化、パッケージングに関する詳細が含まれており、自己完結型の保護システムとして市場に出される排気装置の仕様が示されています。 この標準の主要な強みは、その包括的なアプローチにあります。具体的には、圧力感知膜が構造物の一部として固定されており、設定された低圧で爆発が発生した場合に迅速に排気エリアがオープンすることで、爆発によって生じる最大圧力が設計耐圧を超えないようにすることを目的としています。この機能により、安全性が大幅に向上し、内部爆発からのリスクを軽減します。 また、粉塵爆発保護に関してはEN 14491、ガス爆発保護に関してはprEN 14994によって排気装置の適用と仕様が概説されています。重要な点として、これらの基準外での送管などのアプリケーションにおいて排気装置を使用する際には慎重な評価が求められ、その適用可能性は試験によって確認される必要があります。 さらに、火炎の侵入を防ぐ無火炎排気装置も標準の一部として位置付けられています。これにより、排気アクションによって生じる火炎による危険が受け入れられない状況での安全性が確保されます。 ただし、この標準では点火源の回避に関する詳細な情報は扱われておらず、検出装置や他の排気装置の部品についての注意が必要です。SIST EN 14797:2007は、爆発からの保護装置において必須の情報を提供するものであり、安全意識の高い産業界にとって、非常に重要かつ関連性の高い指針となっています。

Le document normatif SIST EN 14797:2007 se concentre sur les dispositifs de décharge d'explosion, offrant des spécifications claires et détaillées pour garantir la sécurité des installations industrielles face aux explosions internes causées par la combustion rapide de poussières, de vapeur ou de gaz. Cette norme européenne définit non seulement les exigences de conception, d'inspection, d'essai, de marquage, de documentation et d'emballage, mais elle établit également un cadre pour les dispositifs de décharge d'explosion commercialisés en tant que systèmes de protection autonomes. L'un des principaux points forts de cette norme réside dans sa capacité à réduire efficacement les risques d'explosion en permettant une évacuation rapide des pressions internes à travers une membrane sensible à la pression. Cette membrane, fixée à la structure protégée, s'ouvre à une pression prédéterminée pour éviter que la pression maximale générée par une explosion n'excède la résistance conçue de l'enveloppe. Ce processus garantit non seulement la protection de l'équipement, mais également la sécurité du personnel et des espaces environnants. La norme SIST EN 14797:2007 est particulièrement pertinente dans les secteurs où des poussières combustibles ou des gaz peuvent être présents. En définissant des exigences spécifiques pour la protection contre les explosions de poussière dans la norme EN 14491 et contre les explosions de gaz dans le prEN 14994, elle offre une approche systématique pour l'évaluation et l'assurance de la sécurité dans divers environnements industriels. Cela est essentiel, car l'utilisation de dispositifs de décharge d'explosion doit être soigneusement évaluée pour des applications autres que celles spécifiées, et leur adéquation doit être confirmée par des tests appropriés. En outre, la norme adresse les dispositifs de décharge sans flamme, qui représentent une avancée significative dans la prévention des incendies indésirables lors des événements de décharge. Ces solutions sont particulièrement utiles dans les environnements à haut risque où la présence de flammes est inacceptable. Cependant, il convient de noter que cette norme ne traite pas des détails concernant l'évitement des sources d'ignition issues des dispositifs de détection ou d'autres parties des dispositifs de décharge, ce qui pourrait nécessiter des compléments d'évaluation lors de la mise en œuvre des solutions de sécurité. En résumé, la SIST EN 14797:2007 constitue un document fondamental pour la sécurité industrielle, offrant des directives précieuses pour la conception et l'utilisation des dispositifs de décharge d'explosion, renforçant ainsi la protection contre les effets dévastateurs des explosions internes.

Die SIST EN 14797:2007 ist eine wesentliche Norm, die die Anforderungen an Explosionsdruckentlastungsgeräte definiert. Diese Norm ist von entscheidender Bedeutung für den Schutz von Gehäusen gegen die erheblichen Auswirkungen interner Explosionen, die durch das schnelle Verbrennen von schwebendem Staub, Dampf oder Gas entstehen. Die Norm legt klare Anforderungen für das Design, die Inspektion, die Prüfung, die Kennzeichnung, die Dokumentation und die Verpackung von Explosionsdruckentlastungsgeräten fest, die als autonome Schutzeinrichtungen auf dem Markt angeboten werden. Ein herausragendes Merkmal dieser Norm ist die Betonung der Sicherheit und der Zuverlässigkeit der Explosionsdruckentlastungsgeräte. Diese Geräte bestehen aus einer druckempfindlichen Membran, die Teil der Struktur ist, die sie schützt. Sie sind so konzipiert, dass sie bei einer vorbestimmten niedrigen Druckschwelle eingreifen und sofort ein ausreichendes Entlastungsareal öffnen, um sicherzustellen, dass der durch die Explosion im Gehäuse erreichte maximale Druck nicht über die vorgesehene Druckbeständigkeit hinausgeht. Diese Funktion ist von großer Relevanz für den sicheren Betrieb in industriellen Anwendungen, wo die Möglichkeit von Staub- oder Gasexplosionen besteht. Die Norm behandelt auch die Anwendung und Spezifikation von Explosionsdruckentlastungsgeräten für den Schutz gegen Staubexplosionen, die in EN 14491 und für Gasexplosionen in prEN 14994 festgelegt sind. Dies zeigt den interdisziplinären Ansatz der Norm, da sie Fachleuten hilft, die Eignung von Druckentlastungssystemen in verschiedenen Kontexten zu bewerten. Es wird jedoch darauf hingewiesen, dass die Verwendung von Druckentlastungsgeräten gemäß dieser Norm in anderen Anwendungen als den beschriebenen in EN 14491 oder prEN 14994 sorgfältig geprüft werden muss, was die praktische Anwendbarkeit der Norm unterstreicht. Ein besonderes Augenmerk gilt den flammlosen Explosionsdruckentlastungsgeräten, die verhindern sollen, dass Flammen in die Umgebung dringen. Diese Geräte sind speziell für Situationen konzipiert, in denen die Gefahren von Flammen aus der Druckentlastung nicht akzeptabel sind. Die Separate Behandlung flammloser Geräte in anderen Normen zeigt die wichtige Rolle, die solche Technologien im Sicherheitsmanagement spielen. Insgesamt stellt die SIST EN 14797:2007 eine umfassende und relevante Norm dar, die die grundlegenden Anforderungen für Explosionsdruckentlastungsgeräte definiert und somit einen signifikanten Beitrag zur Verbesserung der Sicherheit in der Industrie leistet.

SIST EN 14797:2007 is a comprehensive European Standard that establishes essential requirements for explosion venting devices, which play a crucial role in protecting enclosures from the potentially devastating effects of internal explosions due to the rapid burning of suspended dust, vapor, or gas. The standard details the design, inspection, testing, marking, documentation, and packaging of these autonomous protective systems, making it an indispensable reference for manufacturers and users alike. One of the key strengths of this standard is its thorough coverage of the operational mechanism of explosion venting devices. These devices are engineered to include a pressure-sensitive membrane that integrates with the structure it safeguards. When an explosion occurs, these membranes activate at a predetermined low pressure, swiftly opening a vent area that limits the pressure rise within the enclosure to a level that the structure is designed to withstand. This mechanism is critical for minimizing damage and ensuring safety during explosive events. Furthermore, SIST EN 14797:2007 is directly relevant to industries dealing with potential explosion hazards, as it outlines specifications for both dust and gas explosion protection. The connection to additional standards, such as EN 14491 for dust and prEN 14994 for gas, enriches its applicability, ensuring that organizations can implement comprehensive safety measures. Nonetheless, the standard also emphasizes the importance of evaluating the suitability of venting devices for applications outside these specified boundaries, reinforcing the document’s robustness in promoting proper safety assessments. The standard's mention of flameless explosion venting devices further illustrates its relevance in modern applications. By addressing situations where flame breakout could pose serious hazards, this standard recognizes evolving industry needs and provides a pathway for safe explosion venting without the risks associated with flame spread. However, it is worth noting that SIST EN 14797:2007 does not delve into the specifics of preventing ignition sources from detection devices or other components of the venting systems. Although it provides substantial information, this gap indicates the need for complementary guidelines or standards to ensure a comprehensive safety approach in explosion prevention. Overall, SIST EN 14797:2007 serves as an essential framework for ensuring safety through the effective application of explosion venting devices. Its meticulous detailing of design and functional requirements affirms its position as a vital standard, promoting safety, compliance, and improved operations across various industries potentially exposed to explosive risks.
