Download or read book Pressure Test Safety written by G. Saville and published by . This book was released on 1998-04-30 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text presents a method for the quantification of the hazards associated with the conduct of pressure tests and with the determination of protective barricades to prevent injury. The hazard assessment involves the determination of the energy stored in a pressurized system and the destination of this energy following the fracture of one or more components of the system. Computational methods are given for estimating this stored energy, the size and speed of missiles generated by such a failure and the magnitude of any accompanying blast. Procedures are given for determining the loads which protective structures must resist and design information is provided for their construction. General advice is provided on the construction and use of pressure test facilities, both fixed and mobile, and on the operational procedures which are required if the testing is to be carried out safely.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Safety in process industries is of utmost necessity to ensure protection from hazards. The aim of this book is to elucidate the hazards and preventive measures for a few of such specific industrial processes. Starting with overview of the prevalent industrial accidents, types of hazards and safety provisions, the book contains nineteen chapters with each one of them consisting of a unique case study comprising of basic causes, results and discussion, and protective measures to be adopted to overcome such situation. Topics covered include caprolactam storage tank accident, fire explosion accident caused by static electricity, and human factors risk and management in process safety and so forth. Aimed at researchers, professionals, graduate students in Chemical Engineering, Safety Management, Risk Assessment, Chemical Process Safety, this book: Provides exhaustive coverage of industrial case studies on their hazards and safety issues in the process industry set-up. Includes quantitative discussion on new and existing technologies and methodologies. Explores high quality descriptive and quantified data for better visualization of each chapter. Gives detailed description on various industrial accidents, their related consequences and available safety/preventive measures. Discusses preventive measures taken by world class industries in their production plants.

Download or read book Pressure Systems Stored Energy Threshold Risk Analysis written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Federal Regulation 10 CFR 851, which became effective February 2007, brought to light potential weaknesses regarding the Pressure Safety Program at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). The definition of a pressure system in 10 CFR 851 does not contain a limit based upon pressure or any other criteria. Therefore, the need for a method to determine an appropriate risk-based hazard level for pressure safety was identified. The Laboratory has historically used a stored energy of 1000 lbf-ft to define a pressure hazard; however, an analytical basis for this value had not been documented. This document establishes the technical basis by evaluating the use of stored energy as an appropriate criterion to establish a pressure hazard, exploring a suitable risk threshold for pressure hazards, and reviewing the methods used to determine stored energy. The literature review and technical analysis concludes the use of stored energy as a method for determining a potential risk, the 1000 lbf-ft threshold, and the methods used by PNNL to calculate stored energy are all appropriate. Recommendations for further program improvements are also discussed.
