Explosion vent

An explosion vent is a special device that helps protect people and buildings from bursting or exploding. It looks like a big metal plate that is put on a wall or roof where there may be dangerous gases or chemicals.

If there is too much pressure built up inside the building or container, the explosion vent pops open like a door to let some of the pressure and hot air escape. This helps prevent the explosion from causing further damage or harm to people nearby.

Think of it like a safety valve on a steam engine, but for really big and dangerous explosions. It allows the pressure to be released in a controlled manner, so it's not dangerous to people or property.

Explosion vents are important in factories and industrial areas where there is a risk of explosions from things like chemicals, gas, or dust. They help keep people safe by providing a way for the pressure to escape if something goes wrong.
