Record 1 2017-10-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Fires and Explosions
  • Fire Prevention
CONT

If the maximum rate of pressure rise... of a dust is determined in a standard 1 m3 vessel according to the standardized test procedures, this value equals the so-called dust explosion constant Kst. This maximum rate of pressure rise, or Kst value, is an indication for the vehemence of the explosion and also defines the speed required to be able to release the explosion pressure at an early stage(explosion venting), or to extinguish it(explosion suppression).

OBS

Kst value: Kst value.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mesures et analyse (Sciences)
  • Chimie analytique
  • Feux et explosions
  • Prévention des incendies
CONT

Si la vitesse d'augmentation de pression maximale [...] d'une poudre est déterminée dans un récipient standardisé d'un mètre cube selon des procédures de test conventionnelles, cette valeur peut être considérée comme identique à ladite constante d'explosion de poussière Kst. Cette vitesse maximale d'augmentation de pression ou «valeur Kst» est une indication de l'intensité de l'explosion et définit également la vitesse à laquelle il faut intervenir pour pouvoir évacuer l'explosion par évent (décharge de l'explosion) ou l'étouffer (suppression de l'explosion).

OBS

valeur Kst : valeur Kst.

The Federation of American Scientists conducted a simulated detonation test of a foot-long cobalt rod taken from a food irradiation plant and found these startling figures : A real explosion of that cobalt rod would have resulted in the contamination of 1, 000 square kilometers, with a 10 percent risk of death from cancer for residents living inside a 300-block area for 40 years following the detonation.
