When considering QMI Blast and Gastight Doors, here are key specifications to keep in mind:

The ASCE has specified guidelines for the design of blast resistant buildings in petrochemical facilities. These guidelines divide the blast door operation into four categories. 

Category 1 –The door still has to be operational after a blast event. This is for example necessary when there is a risk of another blast and the door is a primary exit of the facility. 

Category 2 –With this category the blast door still has to be operational after a blast event, but can have significant damage. These blast doors has to be operational to prevent entrapment of personnel. The ductility ratio is between 2 and 3 for this type of doors. The recommended edge rotation is equal to or less than 2.0 degrees. 

Category 3 –The blast doors in this category does not have to be operational after a blast event. No major structural failure of the panel, restraining hardware system and frame is permitted. For this category the ductility ratio is in the range of 5 and 10, the edge rotation has a maximum of 8 degrees. 

Category 4 –Finally there is the fourth category. In this category the door also not have to be operational after a blast event and outward rebound force and resulting hardware failure is acceptable. 

Applications:

QMI Blast and Gastight Doors find applications across diverse settings:
