Explosion Venting

Explosion venting is the most widely accepted and utilized explosion protection strategy in use today. When properly applied, explosion venting will prevent the explosion from reaching potential maximum pressures of 100 psig, or higher. Various types of devices are used to provide explosion overpressure protection, such as: certified rupture panels (explosion vents), uncertified venting panels including: hinged devices, shear type fasteners, home made venting panels, and more.

Many of these devices offer some redeeming benefits, but in the end are not reliable as explosion protection options.Fike’s approach provides you with the protection options you need, based upon your specific process requirements and your protection objectives.

 Fike Explosion Venting

Explosion venting is the most widely accepted and utilized explosion protection strategy in use today. When properly applied, explosion venting will prevent the explosion from reaching potential maximum pressures of 100 psig, or higher.

 Flameless Explosion Venting. FlamQuench II

FlamQuench II is designed for use in combination with Fike explosion vents. It extinguishes the flame from the vented explosion, not allowing it to exit the device, where it could ignite secondary explosions or endanger personnel.
