Explosion Vents (Vent-Saf)

Explosion Vents (Vent-Saf)

Performance Features

  • Unique, economic, and patented design.
  • 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
