Buildings that are structurally designed to withstand an explosion generated load (pressure and impulse) while sustaining a predetermined amount of damage.
A transient change in the gas density, pressure, and velocity of the air surrounding an explosion point. The initial change can be either discontinuous or gradual. A discontinuous change is referred to as a shock wave, and a gradual change is known as a pressure wave.
A specific combination of work practices, safety equipment, and facilities designed to minimize the exposure of workers and the environment to infectious agents.
A point of reference from which measurements may be made or from which other things can be measured. A program that is used to compare the operation of two or more systems is called a benchmark program.
Technical laboratory scale (typically between 0.1 and 5 dm3), more specifically directed to process simulation and determination of technical plant facilities (cooling/heating capacities, temperature constraints, charging requirements, etc.)
