Explosion Venting Rupture Disc Panels

Application Examples

Available Options

  • Range of sizes, both round and square.
  • Triple-section and domed designs ensure long service life.
  • Optional hygenic design (to pharmaceutical standards)
  • Optional flanges, seal gaskets and tools to suit various applications for high temperature, vacuum and pressure resistance (especially pressure pulsing).
  • Available with break-wire monitoring (can be used to actuate secondary protection devices).

Atex explosion vent panels are designed to provide cost-effective pressure relief preventing overpressure damage to the vessel wall.

Features

  • Extra low cost.
  • Low maintenance.
  • Wide range of relief pressures.
  • Optional pressure fatigue resistance.

Concept and Operation

Non-reclosing and non-reusable weak panels which form part of the protected vessel wall, are designed to burst at a predetermined pressure early in the development of an explosion. This results in the main force of an explosion being dissipated into a designated safe venting area, preventing deformation or rupture of the protected plant.
