(2) the length of AE in metres of the access adit of the Commons Chamber of the explosion sealing is calculated depending on the number of breaks from the formula x L0 5 AE = 16.8/3n. In this formula, L means the maximum capacity per storage chamber in kilogram, n the number of rectangular refractions of the open connection between storage chamber and explosion closure. The length AE can be reduced by other low end devices (like expansion Chambers) the pressure shock wave.
(3) the size of the explosion catches is so that the formula p = this 65 L / v calculated explosion pressure reliably resist. In this formula, L means the maximum capacity per storage chamber in kilograms, v the contents of the room closed off due to the explosion of seal in litres and p the explosion pressure in kilonewtons per square centimeter.
