(B.L.E.V.E) Boiling Liquid Expansion Vapour Explosion & UVCE Explosion.

👉B.L.E.V.E. (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion).  A BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion) is experienced when  containers of liquefied gases, are exposed to fires. It results from the failure of a vessel containing a liquid or a liquefied gas at a temperature significantly above its boiling point at normal atmospheric pressure. In case of container failure, a large fraction of  the superheated liquid flashes to vapour, resulting in the sudden generation of a large amount of flammable gas. " CLICK:- Everything about BLEVE " Considering the large amount of liquefied gases which are in use both in the industry and society, the risk of BLEVEs is high, as is also evident from large number of instances of BLEVEs, both within and outside industrial premises. Amongst the most  dangerous of such explosions are the rupture of liquefied gas containers such as large Horton spheres, bullets (both fixed and mobile), smaller cylinders, etc. If such ...
