What is Protection of Piping Systems Subject to Fires and Explosions about?

Industry experience has shown that there are practical limits to the general level of explosion resistance that can be achieved with process piping. It is consequently necessary to take measures in the overall plant design and local layout to reduce probable explosion pressures. An extensive part of the guide is devoted to this aspect, the objective being to reduce hazard and consequence by implementation of the principles of inherently safe design. For onshore plants a major goal is to prevent the spread of explosion effects from one plot/unit to adjacent plot/units and to people beyond the plant boundary. The objective of this Technical Note is to provide a methodology on the design and the protection piping systems and piping supports on both offshore installations and onshore plants for fires and explosions. The guidance covers the methods used to carry out both simplified design checks and advanced non-linear analysis.
