You cannot calculate Dynamic Pressure when TNT explosion is within a distance of
3M.
This is because that TNT explosion within a distance of 3M is characterized
by Shock Pressure being much superior to Dynamic Pressure.
The most accurate calculation results about TNT explosion affecting on the
wall when TNT 10Kg is exploded in 1M x1M room are as follows
Here are 12 situations to consider.
◆In case of sealed condition.
①. 10 kg, sealed, explosion at the wall floor location :180bar
②. 10 kg, sealed, explosion in the middle of the wall :320bar
③. 10 kg, sealed, explosion at wall ceiling location :180bar
◆In case of opened condition.
①. 10 kg, opened, explosion at the wall floor location :180bar
②. 10 kg, opened, explosion in the middle of the wall :320 bar
③. 10 kg, opened, explosion at wall ceiling location :50 bar
◆In case of sealed condition.
①. 20 kg, sealed, explosion at the wall floor location :300 bar
②. 20 kg, sealed, explosion in the middle of the wall :530 bar
③. 20 kg, sealed, explosion at wall ceiling location :300 bar
◆In case of opened condition.
①. 20 kg, opened, explosion at the wall floor location :300 bar
②. 20 kg, opened, explosion in the middle of the wall :530 bar
③. 20 kg, opened, explosion at wall ceiling location :80 bar
Generally, the design of the blast proof door is based on the Dynamic
Pressure, but it's wrong to apply the Dynamic Pressure only for the explosion
within a distance of 3M.
Again, this is because that TNT explosion within a distance of 3M is
characterized by Shock Pressure being much superior to Dynamic Pressure
All calculated values from opened websites like UN - SaferGuard - Kingery
Bulmash Blast Parameter Calculator are only based on Dynamic Pressure.
