Information Circular 9226: A Computer Program to Rapidly Screen Explosion-Proof Enclosures

Public Domain


Details

  • Personal Author:
    Duda, Frank T. Jr.
  • Description:
    A U.S. Bureau of Mines interactive Fortran computer program can screen explosion-proof enclosures intended for underground service. The program incorporates information and criteria to assist enclosure manufacturers and Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) personnel by providing a first-order approximation of rectangular explosion-proof enclosure characteristics prior to actual certification testing. The program uses information and data that can be retrieved automatically during program execution. The program also performs the calculations for a series solution algorithm and various equations to evaluate the enclosure for both a static internal pressure and an internal explosion. The program writes the intermediate and final calculations and information concerning the status of the screening process to a summary file on a floppy disk. One data base contains MSHA certification requirements given in the code of federal regulations (30cfr18). A second data base contains material properties of acceptable construction materials and weld joint efficiencies. A series algorithm determines bolt and cover stresses for a simply supported rectangular cover with arbitrary bolt locations. Limit and yield line analysis is used to calculate the strength of body panels. [Description provided by NIOSH]
