2. After the explosion occurs, the pre-set explosive force is not reached, and the explosion-proof door can still be used normally.
3. When the explosion occurs, the explosive force is pre-set, which can deform, but the components of the door can still be used to avoid personnel being trapped and trapped.
4, the necessary closed isolation function, to prevent the direct convection of the isolated space and the outside air, in order to reduce the separated, protected space by the outside pollution.

Steel Blast-Resistant Doors Standard
Introduction
Blast-Resistant doors are special-purpose doors designed to withstand internal or external explosions. These doors are now widely used in various industries, including petrochemicals, power electronics, and high-speed rail, particularly in shelters, substations, control rooms, passages, and hazardous materials warehouses. Boiler rooms and flammable or explosive warehouses have also begun adopting Blast-Resistant doors.
Currently, there is no unified national or industry standard in China for the production of Blast-Resistant doors. The application range and industry demand for Blast-Resistant doors are expanding, and the required specifications are increasingly diverse. The previous enterprise standards of our company could no longer meet these new requirements. Therefore, in January 2014, we revised this standard to suit new demands.
This standard applies to Blast-Resistant doors designed to resist blast pressures between 50 and 500 kPa.

Design Concepts
- Purpose: The explosion-proof door is designed to withstand accidental or predictable explosions in industrial, chemical, and military settings. It aims to protect personnel and internal equipment from blast shock wave damage.
- Performance: The explosion-proof door system has superior resistance, capable of withstanding pressures up to 0.19 MPa (190 KPa). The system has been tested and certified by several internationally recognized organizations, ensuring reliable anti-explosion performance.
- Applications: Commonly used in industrial buildings such as petrochemical plants, power facilities, and military installations. It is also suitable for rooms requiring high safety standards, such as shelters, substations, control rooms, and corridors.
Performance Characteristics
- Weight and Handling: Explosion-proof doors are designed to be lightweight, making them easy to operate while meeting the project’s load requirements.
- Safety Features: The doors are equipped with safety mechanisms to function normally in non-explosive conditions.
- Compliance: Explosion-proof doors comply with the standards set by the Safety and Police Electronic Product Quality Testing Center of the Ministry of Public Security.
Classification of Explosion-Proof Doors
Explosion-proof doors are typically classified into two grades:
- Class A: Utilizes a 4.0 mm thick door frame and door panel with an 80 mm door. Suitable for high-risk areas such as ammunition depots and fire libraries.
- Class B: Uses a 3.0 mm thick door frame and door panel with a 55 mm door. Commonly used in general industrial applications.
- Explosion-Proof Doors:
- Purpose: Explosion-proof doors are designed to withstand a predetermined range of explosion incident pressures and reflective forces. Their primary function is to protect personnel and property by preventing or minimizing damage during an explosion.
- Performance Post-Explosion: If the explosion force does not exceed the specified threshold, the door can continue to function normally. In the event of an explosion that meets or exceeds the preset limits, the door may deform but will still maintain structural integrity, ensuring that occupants are not trapped or obstructed.
- Sealing and Isolation: These doors provide essential airtight and isolation capabilities, preventing direct airflow between the protected area and the external environment. This helps reduce contamination or pollution of the isolated space from external sources.
- Self-Closing and Emergency Escape: Explosion-proof doors are equipped with self-closing mechanisms and emergency escape features, allowing for quick evacuation in case of an emergency.
- Material and Design: Constructed using special industrial steel plates with precise mechanical data, they are fitted with high-performance hardware, ensuring both functionality and aesthetics. The doors are designed to resist explosions occurring outside industrial buildings, safeguarding personnel and internal equipment from blast waves and preventing the propagation of explosion hazards.
- 防爆门：
- Primary Function: Similar to explosion-proof doors, blast-resistant doors are intended to withstand high-pressure explosions. However, they are typically used in settings where direct exposure to blast forces is anticipated, such as military installations, chemical plants, and petrochemical facilities.
- Threshold and Resilience: While both door types can handle preset explosion forces, blast-resistant doors are often designed for higher thresholds and more extreme conditions. Their structural integrity remains intact, even under severe blast loads, to maintain security and safety.
- Durability After Explosion: These doors may deform under high-pressure loads but are engineered to remain operable or provide a controlled failure mode that does not compromise safety. They prevent debris from entering protected areas and ensure the continuity of operations post-blast.
- Applications: Blast-resistant doors are commonly used in environments with a high risk of deliberate or accidental explosions, where maintaining the operability of the door post-blast is critical.
Conclusion
Blast-Resistant Doors and Explosion-Proof Doors may seem similar, but they differ in terms of purpose, design, and performance.
1. Blast-Resistant Doors
- Purpose: Primarily used to prevent the damage caused by explosion shock waves (such as pressure waves generated by an explosion) to buildings or individuals inside. They are widely used in oil, gas, chemical plants, and military facilities where there is a risk of explosions.
- Design Features:
- Capable of withstanding and resisting high-pressure shock waves.
- Constructed from strong materials such as steel and composites.
- Designed to consider the reflection, absorption, and dispersion of explosion shock waves.
- May include specialized locking and hinge systems to ensure the door remains closed during an explosion.
2. Explosion-Proof Doors
- Purpose: Primarily used to prevent internal explosions (such as the explosion of flammable gases or chemicals in a confined space) from spreading outward. They are commonly used in industrial environments, such as hazardous material storage, laboratories, and factories where explosive gases or dust may be present.
- Design Features:
- Prevent the spread of flames, sparks, and high temperatures from an explosion to the outside environment.
- Focus more on isolation and sealing functions rather than directly resisting explosion shock waves.
- Often designed for airtightness to prevent flammable gas leakage.
- The structure is relatively simple and relies more on sealing and fire-resistant materials.
3. Summary of Differences
- Blast-Resistant Doors: Primarily defend against external explosion shock waves, typically used to protect individuals and building structures.
- Explosion-Proof Doors: Primarily used for internal explosion isolation and sealing, preventing flames and explosive gases from spreading outward.
In practical applications, the choice between the two types of doors depends on specific safety requirements and environmental conditions.
While both explosion-proof and blast-resistant doors are designed to provide protection against explosive forces, their usage, design specifications, and post-event functionality differ. Explosion-proof doors are generally employed in industrial settings to protect against accidental explosions and maintain normal operations even after a blast. In contrast, blast-resistant doors are used in high-risk environments where maximum resistance to explosive forces and security is paramount.
In essence, explosion-proof doors are ideal for industrial buildings to protect against accidental explosions, ensuring both the safety of personnel and the integrity of the structure. Meanwhile, blast-resistant doors are suited for applications requiring robust resistance and continued operability under extreme conditions, such as defense or high-risk industrial sites.
For industries looking to implement the highest standards of safety, selecting the appropriate door type based on the specific threat level and operational needs is essential. Guangdun Door Industry offers a wide range of both explosion-proof and blast-resistant doors, tailored to meet diverse safety requirements.
