This European Standard shall be given the st
22、atus of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by February 2013, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by February 2013. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the
23、 subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 14491:2006. Annex F provides details of significant technical changes between this European Standard and the previous edition. This document has been
24、 prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive 94/9/EC. For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. According to the CEN/CE
25、NELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary,

DIN EN 14491:2012-10 EN 14491:2012 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the basic requirements of de
27、sign for the selection of a dust explosion venting protective system. This European Standard is one of a series including EN 14797, Explosion venting devices and EN 14460, Explosion resistant equipment. The three standards together represent the concept of dust explosion venting. To avoid transfer o
28、f explosions to other communicating equipment, one should also consider applying EN 15089 Explosion Isolation Systems. This European Standard covers: vent sizing to protect an enclosure against the internal pressure effects of a dust explosion; flame and pressure effects outside the enclosure; recoi
29、l forces; influence of vent ducts; hybrid mixtures. This European Standard is not intended to provide design and application rules against effects generated by detonation reactions or runaway exothermic reactions. This European Standard does not cover fire risks arising from materials either process
30、ed, used or released by the equipment or from materials that make up equipment and buildings. This European Standard does not cover the design, construction, testing and certification of explosion venting devices that are used to achieve explosion venting1). 2 Normative references The following docu

Weak are

Information required for calculation of the vent area includes the explosion resistance of the enclosu
47、re, the explosion characteristics of the dust, the shape and size of the enclosure, the static activation overpressure and other characteristics of the vent closure, and the condition of the dust cloud inside the enclosure. Explosion venting shall not be performed if unacceptable amounts of material
48、s that are classified as poisonous, corrosive, irritant, carcinogenic, teratogenic or mutagenic can be released. Either the dust or the DIN EN 14491:2012-10 EN 14491:2012 (E) 7 combustion products can present a hazard to the immediate environment. If there is no alternative to explosion venting, an endangered area shall be specified.
