BS EN 15967:2011EN 15967:2011 (E) 5 Introduction This European Standard describes test methods for the determination of: the explosion pressure and the maximum explosion pressure; and the rate of explosion pressure r

30、ise and the maximum rate of explosion pressure rise; of a quiescent flammable gas/air/inert mixture at ambient temperature and pressure. Maximum explosion pressure and maximum rate of explosion pressure rise are used for designing explosion protection measures, such as explosion pressure resistant o

31、r explosion pressure shock resistant apparatus, explosion venting and explosion suppression. These characteristics are particularly influenced by: the size and shape of the vessel; the type and energy of the ignition source; the temperature and pressure; the turbulence. It is therefore necessary to

32、standardise the conditions at which the maximum explosion pressure and the maximum rate of explosion pressure rise are determined. BS EN 15967:2011EN 15967:2011 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a test method that is designed to produce measurements of explosion pressure and the maximum

33、 explosion pressure, the rate of explosion pressure rise and the maximum rate of explosion pressure rise of a quiescent flammable gas/air/inert mixture in closed volume at ambient temperature and pressure. In this European Standard, the term “gas“ includes vapours but not mists. Detonation and decom

34、position phenomena are not considered in this European Standard. The pressures and rates of pressure rise measured by the procedures specified in this European Standard are not applicable to flameproof enclosures, that is enclosures intended to withstand an internal explosion and not to transmit it

35、to an external explosive atmosphere, or any other closed volume where the internal geometry can result in pressure piling. Even in an enclosure of relatively simple geometry the disposition of the internal components can lead to rates of pressure rise significantly higher than those measured using t

36、his European Standard. This European Standard does not apply to the design and testing of flameproof enclosures in conformity with EN 13463-6 (for non-electrical equipment) and EN 60079-1 (for electrical equipment). 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the

37、application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

39、 flammable substances with air or air and inert gases determined under specified test conditions NOTE pexis expressed as absolute pressure with gases and vapour and as overpressure with dusts. 3.2 maximum explosion pressure pmaxmaximum value of explosion pressure measured in the tests for explosion

40、pressure when the content of the flammable substances in the mixture is varied NOTE pmaxis expressed as absolute pressure with gases and vapour and as overpressure with dusts. 3.3 rate of explosion pressure rise (dp/dt)exhighest value of the slope (first derivative) of the pressure-time curve (smoot

41、hed if necessary), measured in a closed vessel during the explosion of a specific mixture of flammable substances with air or air and inert substances determined under specified test conditions BS EN 15967:2011EN 15967:2011 (E) 7 3.4 maximum rate of explosion pressure rise (dp/dt)maxmaximum value of

42、 the explosion pressure rise per unit time measured in the tests when the content of the flammable substances in the mixture is varied NOTE For the purpose of this document, all pressures are expressed in bar absolute and rate of explosion pressure rises are expressed in bar/s. 4 Test method 4.1 Pri

43、nciple An explosive test mixture is ignited by a defined ignition source which is positioned in the centre of a test vessel. By means of a pressure measuring system the pressure-time curve that develops following the ignition of the test mixture is recorded. From the pressure- time curve the highest

44、 rate of explosion pressure rise (dp/dt)exis calculated, and the highest pressure pexis determined. Repeat measurements are made with stepwise variations in the content of flammable gas in the mixture. a) The maximum explosion pressure pmaxis determined as the maximum observed value of pex. b) The m

45、aximum rate of explosion pressure rise (dp/dt)maxis determined as the maximum observed value of (dp/dt)ex4.2 Apparatus 4.2.1 General The test apparatus consists of: a test vessel; equipment for preparing the test mixture; an ignition system; a pressure measuring system; a temperature measuring devic

46、e; safety equipment. 4.2.2 Test vessel The test vessel shall be spherical or cylindrical. The internal volume of the test vessel shall be equal to or greater than 0,005 m3. If a cylindrical vessel is used, the length to diameter ratio shall be equal to 1. The test vessel and any equipment (valves, i

47、gniter, transducer, etc) fitted on the vessel shall be designed to withstand a maximum pressure of at least 20 bar. NOTE Guidance on the design of the test vessel can be found in EN 14460. The vessel shall be made of stainless steel or any material free of any catalytic effects and resistant to corr

48、osion from the initial gas mixture and the products of combustion. BS EN 15967:2011EN 15967:2011 (E) 8 The test vessel shall be fitted with sufficient ports to allow filling, evacuating and purging. 4.2.3 Equipment for preparing the test mixture The test mixture can be prepared by a partial pressure

49、 method or mixing together flows of the component substances. This can be done in the test vessel or outside. If the test mixture is prepared by a partial pressure method, the vessel used for the preparation of the mixture shall be fitted with: a) a vacuum pump and a vacuum gauge; b) pressure gauges or manometers; c) a means of achieving a uniform test mixture (e.g. a stirrer). If the test mixture is prepared by mixing flows, the ne
