Single-Leaf Door
Doors for limited spaces such as industrial facilities and control rooms. The compact design allows fast access, and the high-strength body forms a safe barrier against explosion pressure.
How it works
A blast door is built so that the door leaf, frame, hinges and locks together carry the pressure and impulse of an explosion without failing or letting the load into the room. It is anchored in a wall designed for the same load, and its design is based on a defined threat, such as the charge size and distance. A single-leaf door suits personnel openings.
Typical applications
- Control rooms and equipment rooms
- Process buildings and laboratories
- Entrances of protective shelters
Standards and guidance commonly referenced for this product type
These are general references. Compliance and test reports for a specific product are provided per project.
What does a manufacturer need to size a blast door?
The design blast load (peak pressure and impulse, or the charge and distance), the direction the load acts from, the opening size, the wall type and any extra needs such as fire rating, gas tightness or ballistic resistance. Operating details, such as swing direction and locking, are also needed.
