Hazard Evaluation of Carbon Steel Water Tube Boiler under Explosion Behavior

Abstract:

Physical explosion model is applied in a certain carbon steel vertical water tube boiler explosion analysis, all the safety accessories and records have been damaged and no data related with before explosion could be found. Boiler energy and operation pressure before explosion was estimated by the measurement of cast pieces. Hurt radius calculated by TNT equivalent method is in accordance with on site measuring, which proves that TNT equivalent method is applicable in carbon steel boiler explosion analysis.
