Pressure Pilling!

You may have heard of the phenomenon called “pressure piling”, which adds to the severity of an explosion. Pressure piling can happen when explosion proof enclosures for use in a hazardous area are not designed and installed properly. Pressure piling can lead to a catastrophic event. It’s therefore important to understand what pressure piling is, what causes it, and how to prevent it.
In this video, HAZLOC DIRECTORY will illustrate the important characteristics related to pressure pilling.
We will show three examples of improper design and installation of an explosion proof enclosure which could cause pressure pilling. We quickly review how to prevent pressure piling.
