Blowout panels, also called blow-off panels, areas with intentionally weakened structure, are used in enclosures, buildings or vehicles where a sudden overpressure may occur. By failing in a predictable manner, they channel the overpressure or pressure wave in the direction where it causes controlled, directed minimal harm, instead of causing a ...
The highest-capacity large-bore ram blowout preventer on the market, as of July 2010, was Cameron's EVO 20K BOP, with a hold-pressure rating of 20,000 psi, ram force in excess of 1,000,000 pounds, and a well–bore diameter of up to 18.75 inches.
Blow-out panels are good for burning propellent, but useless for detonating high-explosive ammunition. On the other hand, with the ammunition storage in the rear, the turret on these tanks are enormous, which makes it a big target. Hitting the rear turret of a tank is not difficult, especially with ATGM, UAV or RPG-based weaponry. The larger ...
Boeing does not typically make adjustments to the type of panel involved in last week's 737 MAX 9 blowout unless factory tests reveal a problem, a source familiar with Boeing's industrial process ...
An explosion vent will relieve pressure from the instant its opening (or activation) pressure p stat has been exceeded. Several explosion vent panels can be installed on the same process vessel to be protected. Explosion vents are available in the versions self-destructive, non-self-re-closing and re-usable, self-re-closing. Explosion vents in ...
An accident like the midair Alaska Airlines panel blowout “can never happen again,” Boeing’s president and CEO said Tuesday, as he acknowledged a “mistake” had been made before the plane ...
The panel is a plug put in place on some 737 MAX 9s instead of an additional emergency exit, and regulators have grounded 171 planes so airlines can conduct inspections of those crafts. At least ...
