Compressible fluid volume for blast wave consideration in piping failures
Compressible fluid volume for blast wave consideration in piping failures
(OP)
I'm looking for a resource, preferably one available in the public domain, that is from a nationally recognized institute (e.g. university, NASA Research Center, National Laboratory, etc.) that provides information on the amount of volume that may be considered when estimating the energy (ft-lbs) that is released due to failure, such as may occur during a pressure test.
I have seen anecdotal evidence that one may consider as little as 1 to 2 "pipe joints" due to pressure decay of the wave.
Thank you.

You might also want to look at some of the FEMA publications (and those published by others, e.g. The American Lifelines Association) that are available and "download-able" on the Internet.
