Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone has experience of calculating the size of explosion vents for Sump pits or enclosures. The equations in NFPA 68 are complex and I was wondering if there is a unified simplistic approach based on the enclosure volume. In addition maybe you are aware of mitigation means of explosions in oily water sump pits.

Thanks!
