Guidelines for vapor cloud explosion, pressure vessel burst, BLEVE, and flash fire hazards.

This guide provides an overview of methods for estimating the characteristics of vapor cloud explosions, flash fires, and boiling-liquid-expanding-vapor explosions (BLEVEs) for practicing engineers. It has been updated to include advanced modeling technology, especially with respect to vapor cloud m...
