A Blast valve is the device that is used in the air intake and the exhaust vent of CBRN(Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear warfare) protection facility. The valve is automatically closed when explosion pressure is applied from the outside of equipment. This study is investigated on the structural design and the performance of blast valve. After modeling the entire of blast valve and spring assembly, the data for the spring parameter is obtained through the finite element method and the operating limits of the valve are derived. Also, a prototype is made to determine the relationship between the load and the opening closing amount of valve through the load cell test. The performance of prototype at analysis as blast valve is agreed well with that at experiment. It is verified that the blast valve proposed in this paper is designed with the structure to endure the explosion pressure.
