Explosion Vent Panels
Explosion Vent Panels open quickly at a predetermined pressure, controlling any excessive pressure of flames, and containing fragments towards a safe area in the event of an explosion.
Typical Components
- A slotted, perforated metal part
- A seal membrane (usually in PTFE)
- A protection section
Common Features
Accurate reliable and leak tight. Enhanced abrasion resistance. One-piece metal construction without slits on the process side avoiding product accumulation. Optional design for aseptic/sanitary applications. No fragile PTFE seal that may puncture and admit moisture. Superior dynamic performance due to low mass compared with composite designs. Operating pressures up to 60% of the minimum tagged pressure rating (80% under certain conditions). Thermal insulation available to permit use in operating temperatures to 2000°F/1093°C, to reduce heat loss or prevent condensation. Supplied with integral gaskets ready for installation. Fail-safe design, if damaged it will provide a relief opening below its rated pressure.
