Sizing data on vent panels for explosion venting are based on informa-
tion from simple models and data obtained from vapor and dust explo-
sions in vessels fitted with explosion relief. The recommended sizing
procedures are contained in publications of nationally recognized organi-
zations. The widely recognized publications in the U.S. are the NFPA
