Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion

Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion

A Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion (BLEVE) is a violent and potentially catastrophic event that occurs when a pressurized vessel containing a liquid above its boiling point ruptures. This type of explosion is classified as a physical explosion, and it typically involves flammable hydrocarbon liquids such as Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), although non-flammable liquids can also be involved.
