Abstract

Eckhoff, R.K. and Fuhre, K., 1984. Dust explosion experiments in a vented 500 m 3 silo cell. Journal of Occupational Accidents, 6: 229–240. The general problem of dust explosion venting is discussed. Results of wheat grain dust, soya meal and maize starch explosions in a vented 500 m 3 silo cell are presented in terms of vent area P max correlations. The dramatic increase in P max caused by strong turbulence is demonstrated. Comparison of present results and existing venting codes is made.
