TY - JOUR A1 - Sklorz, Christian A1 - Otremba, Frank A1 - Balke, Christian T1 - BLEVE performance of fire protection coating systems on dangerous goods tanks in a test fire N2 - How can the risk of a BLEVE be reduced? That is the main question based on different research projects. In various large scale fire tests fire protection coating systems were used of different manufacturers. The degree of the coating as well as the layer thickness and the processing were varied. These experimental configurations were partly tested with and without pressure relief valve. The pressure relief valves were not protected again the thermal Load from the test fire. The ambition is to find a minimum of the thickness from the fire protection coating witch delay a BLEVE up to 90 minutes. Here are given the most interested configurations of tanks in fire and a description of the test-rigs.

BLEVE Stands for boiling liquid expanding vapour explosion. This describes the sudden Vaporisation of a boiling, liquid under pressure followed by ignition. BLEVE are very complex phenomena which are influenced by a number of factors.
