    PRESSURE VENTING OF DUST EXPLOSIONS


    VDI-RICHTLINIEN - VDI 3673, Part 1 NOTE:
    Always begin a new case by retrieving the original file. Direct entry of data in cells that originally contain table lookups could cause functions to be lost, or incorrect calculations. I format cells requiring entry as RED; calculated values are black. - - Explanatory and Warning notes are provided via Excel Comment Boxes and Data Validation (utilizing the MS Office Assistant"). A copy of the VDI Code should be obtained and used in conjunction with this spreadsheet. I ha attempted to capture all calculation methodology and incorporate within this program. VDI 3673, Part 1, November 2002 is the basis for this calculation methodology. The equations for EQUIPMENT are valid for: vessel volume 0.1-m 10,000m
