SALZANO, Ernesto e DI BENEDETTO, Almerinda. Inherently Safe indexes for Explosions in the Process Industry . rev.ing. [online]. 2012, n.37, pp.73-78. ISSN 0121-4993.
Safety parameters of flammable substances measured by standard procedures are typically adopted for the definition of inherent safe indexes, even if industrial gas, vapour or dust explosions are of concern. However, it is well known that real accidental explosive phenomena are more complex than observed in lab-scale, controlled system. Furthermore, much more severe consequences can be experienced for particular equipment design or fluid-dynamic conditions. This paper proposes new inherent safety indexes for explosion based on recent advancement in combustion-safety and on well known methodologies for consequence analysis.
