Blast Resistant Door
An explosion is a sudden release of gas at high pressure in the environment. Sudden, because the release must be sufficiently rapid for the energy contained in the gas dissipated via a shock wave.
Blast protection is one of today's biggest challenges. A Petro-chemical blast may be regarded as different to that of a terrorist blast attack but fundamentally, blast doors and windows will have to perform the same task - protecting people, places and possessions.
