only feild testable

Most pressure relief apparatus or blow out panels, as they are called, can’t be field tested. And you’ll never know if they’ll work until after an actual catastrophic occurence. But, Explovent® is precisely calibrated at the factory for release at specific design pressures. Explovent may be field tested at any time as part of an ongoing ­­­safety program.

before an explosion

Explovent’s FM approved patented release mechanism is factory calibrated for release at very low pressures to react quickly to pressure build-up, (5psf), yet keeps panels closed until an event occurs.

during and explosion

An explosion vent is designed to be the weakest part of the external structure. When Explovent panels are subjected to pressure rise from an explosion, it opens quickly allowing the rapidly expanding heated gases to be released to the outside.

explovent

after an explosion

Explovent’s hold open device prevents the panels from closing in order to minimize implosive forces. Panels can be returned to a fully closed position either manually or through operators.

test video

The Factory Mutual Research Corporation has granted approval of Explovent for use in damage limiting construction utilizing the two inch fiberglass core. Extensive testing of all core materials was successfully performed at both FM and Canmet Explosion Laboratories, Canada. To see Explovent in action CLICK HERE.
