    Vacuum Hazard

    Uploaded by

    Ahmad Berlian
    Vacuum or negative pressure inside a vessel can be dangerous as vessel structures may not be built to withstand the reversed stresses caused. There are two main factors that can result in vacuum within a vessel - external mechanical draw from forces pulling mass out of the vessel, and internal contraction when internal heat rapidly transfers out during temperature changes like condensation. Atmospheric pressure is very powerful and a vessel collapse due to vacuum can occur within milliseconds if the vessel is not designed to withstand the difference between internal vacuum and external atmospheric pressure.

    What is Vacuum Hazard ?

    Vacuum or negative pressure can be dangerous and damaging to


    vessel as many vessel structures may not be built to withstand
    reversed stresses caused by negative pressure or vacuum. Following
    images show vessel collapsed caused by Vacuum.

    What are the main factors resulting Vacuum ?
    TWO main factors are potentially the best candidates result Vacuum
    in a vessel. There are External mechanical draw and Internal
    contraction.

    External mechanical draw


    This factor basically cause by a external mechanical force to draw
    mass in the vessel out and creating vacuum in the vessel.

    Typical example are vacuum compressor, steam ejector, etc.

    Internal Contraction
    Temperature different results internal heat is forced to transmit out
    from the vessel and internal fluid experience sudden contraction due
    to condensation.

    How powerful is
    ATMOSPHERIC pressure
    and how quick a "vessel"
    collapse. ??? Rail car bullet
    collapsed due to
    vacuum condition.
    The rail car had
    been steamed out
    and remained hot
    inside when it
    started to rain.
    Quick cooling due
    to rain running on
    the rail car and
    lead to generation
    of vacuum.

    In millisecond…!!!!
