Servicing
Explosion vents should be inspected regularly to confirm physical and
operational condition. Replace any damaged or worn parts immediately.
10.3
Safety distance
The material discharged during a vented explosion must be directed
outdoors.
Locating equipment with explosion vents outdoors is always recommended.
Measures should be taken to reduce the risk to personnel and equipment
from the effects of fireball temperature and pressure. In the event of a vented
explosion, use the guidance detailed in NFPA 68 to determine the maximum width
and height of the flame.
