File Sedan Plowshare Crater.jpg thumb 200px Crater created by the Sedan nuclear test Sedan shallow underground nuclear test explosion An explosion crater is a characteristically shaped hole formed when material is ejected from the surface of the ground by an explosive event just above, at, or below the surface. Image Stylised crater.png thumb right 400px Stylised cross section of a crater formed by a below ground explosion A crater is formed by an explosive event through the displacement and ejection of material from the ground. It is typically bowl shaped.

A crater can be of large dimensions, and sometimes of great depth. During certain types of climactic eruptions, the volcano s magma chamber may empty enough for an area above it to subside, forming what may appear to be a crater but is actually known as a caldera . Geomorphology In the majority of typical volcanoes, the crater is situated atop the mountain formed from the erupted volcanic deposits such as lava flow s and tephra . Volcanoes that terminate in such a summit crater are usually of a conical form. Other volcanic craters may be found on the flanks of volcanoes, and these are commonly referred to as flank craters . Some volcanic craters may fill either fully or partially with rain and or melted snow, forming a crater lake . Breached craters have a much lower rim on one side than the rest. A crater may be breached during an eruption, either by explosions or by lava, or through later erosion. Some volcanoes, such as maar s, consist of a crater alone, with scarcely any mountain at all. These volcanic explosion craters are formed when magma rises through water saturated rocks and causes a phreatic eruption . Volcanic craters from phreatic eruptions often occur on plains away from other obvious volcanoes.

An explosion vent will relieve pressure from the instant its opening or activation pressure p sub stat sub has been exceeded.

Explosion vents are available in the versions self destructive, non self re closing and re usable, self re closing . Image HISventsINSTALLED1.png thumb Explosion Vent in Service Explosion vent construction must balance the contradictory requirements low inertia and high strength . Inertia negatively affects an explosion vent s efficiency. High strength is required to endure the considerable forces that move the vent s venting element in order to open the venting wikt orifice orifice . Unintended disintegration must not cause disintegrating parts turning into a missile . The evaluation of an explosion vent s efficiency and its range of application are subject to rules. See National Fire Protection Association 68, EN 14797. During normal venting, the explosion is freely discharged, allowing flames to exit the process being protected. When the protected vessel or pipe is located indoors, ducts are generally used to safely convey the explosion outside the building. However, ductwork has disadvantages and may result in decreased venting efficiency. Flameless venting, in combination with explosion vents, can extinguish the flame from the vented explosion without the use of expensive ducting, limitations to equipment location, or more costly explosion protection.
