Condition in which liquids are excessively heated, which may result in the violent rupture of a container, and the rapid vaporization of the material. The possibility of a BLEVE increases with the volatility of the material.  4, record 1, English, - boiling%20liquid%20expanding%20vapour%20explosion

... a major container failure, into two or more pieces, at a moment in time when the contained liquid is at a temperature well above its boiling point at normal atmospheric pressure. A typical example is that of a propane tank engulfed in a fire.... When the metal fails, the liquid is exposed to atmospheric pressure and is well above its boiling point. Under certain conditions this results in a violent explosion. Once containment is lost, the liquid inside the tank boils, since it is no longer under pressure, and gives the first two letters of the phenomenon-Boiling Liquid. As the liquid boils, vapour is formed. The specific volume of the vapour is much larger than that of the liquid, so there is expansion-Expanding Vapour. There is an Explosion because there is a shock wave and the container is torn apart.  1, record 1, English, - boiling%20liquid%20expanding%20vapour%20explosion

BLEVEs can occur when a pressure liquified tank is in a fire. Vessel contents are at a temperature above their atmospheric boiling point. When the tank ruptures there is flash evaporation. Energy is released quickly and an explosion results.  5, record 1, English, - boiling%20liquid%20expanding%20vapour%20explosion

BLEVE. [...] Ce terme concerne principalement des explosions non confinées. Lorsqu'un combustible liquide, en contact avec l'air environnant, par exemple à la suite d'une fuite, se trouve dans les conditions d'ébullition, les vapeurs mélangées à l'air peuvent constituer un mélange (nuage) non uniforme explosible. Si explosion il y a, le processus peut être une déflagration ou parfois une détonation. Il y a formation d'une boule de feu et d'une onde de souffle plus ou moins intense.  9, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9tente%20explosive%20des%20vapeurs%20d%27un%20liquide%20en%20%C3%A9bullition

Recherche sur les explosions dues à l'expansion des vapeurs d'un liquide en ébullition (BLEVE). [...] Un exemple typique est l'explosion d'un réservoir de propane enveloppé par le feu. [...] Une fois que le récipient est percé, le liquide qu'il renferme bout [...]. Le liquide en ébullition dégage des vapeurs. Le volume massique des vapeurs est beaucoup plus important que celui du liquide : il y a donc expansion. L'explosion est déclenchée par une onde de choc et le récipient éclate.  5, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9tente%20explosive%20des%20vapeurs%20d%27un%20liquide%20en%20%C3%A9bullition

The Petrogen® Liquid Fuel Cutting System is a solid, proven technology that brings you unequally safety, performance, and cost savings. Petrogen makes cuts that are impossible with any other torch, incredibly fast and clean with less airborne contaminants. Petrogen cuts up to 14 inches of steel. The powerful flame easily cuts through layers and across air gaps, through rust, paint, even concrete-backed steel without popping. Petrogen fuel is regular liquid gasoline, kept liquid from the tank to the tip. The Petrogen System is much safer than compressed gas systems such as acetylene or propane. Fuel line backflash is impossible! Many built-in safety features provide the safest cutting torch made. [Text followed by an illustration. ]  2, record 2, English, - Petrogen%C2%AE%20torch
