Explosion Vent
Personal injury, death, and/or
property damage can result from
material discharge during venting.
The material discharged during the venting of an
explosion must be safely directed outdoors away
from areas occupied by personnel to reduce risk
of personal injury and/or property damage.
The risk of personal injury and/or property
damage can be minimized or avoided by locating
vented equipment outside buildings and away
from normally occupied areas.
Explosion vents should be inspected regularly
to confirm physical and operational condition.
Replace any damaged parts immediately.
Standard explosion vents are intended for
outdoor installations only.
Remove all shipping materials,
including covers, from the
explosion relief vents prior to installation.
Failure to remove shipping covers will seriously
compromise explosion vent operation.
Unless otherwise noted, the explosion venting calculations are
based on formulas from NFPA-68 for outdoor applications only,
with no duct or obstructions on the explosion vent panel.
Contact Donaldson Torit for assistance in calculating specific
venting requirements for equipment.
NFPA 68 can provide guidance on both the frequency of and
appropriate details for inspections.
