Inertia negatively affects an explosion vent's efficiency.
2.
Therefore access to areas surrounding explosion vents shall limit personal access with locked access.
3.
Several explosion vent panels can be installed on the same process vessel to be protected.
4.
Explosion vent construction must balance the contradictory requirements " low inertia " and " high strength ".
5.
Flameless venting, in combination with explosion vents, can extinguish the flame from the vented explosion without the use of expensive ducting, limitations to equipment location, or more costly explosion protection.
