A PRESSURE RELIEF PANEL FOR OFF-SHORE PLATFORMS

摘要

A device for shielding operation and maintenance areas comprises a frame (20) for attachment in a wall structure and one in the frame pivotably supported panel (2-5). The panel comprises two substantially plate like panel parts (5) attached to a common central member (1), and a device for pivoting the panel (1-5) between open and closed positions. The panel further comprises a top plate (2) and a bottom plate (3), between which the central member (1) and two side members (4) extend. The two panel parts (5) are release ably attached to a respective one of the side members (4), and the top plate (2) and bottom plate (3) are pivotable within limits with respect to a substantially vertical axis in the area of the central member (1), said axis also substantially coinciding with the pivot axis of the panel (1-5) in the frame (20).
