Vent Panels (Explosion Vent Panels)
Our explosion vent panels provide instantaneous overpressure protection for nearly any type of pressurized dry-bulk handling and storage equipment.
Vent panels are designed to allow a full and immediate opening to minimize structural or mechanical damage by expanded gases from the combustion of dust, gases or mists inside equipment, rooms, buildings or other enclosures.
The VP series
The VP series vent panel is a flat, scored and fluoropolymer-coated aluminum panel. This panel is best suited for operating conditions of positive pressure or vacuum pulsations. It is recommended for a maximum 50% operating-to-burst pressure ratio, positive or negative.
The CP series
The CP series vent panel is a flat, composite-style panel constructed of 316 SS and fluoropolymer. This panel is ideal for cyclic operating conditions, going from positive to negative or negative to positive pressures. A 50% maximum operating-to-burst pressure ratio is recommended.
The SFC & CFC series
The SFC solid metal and CFC composite (metal/fluoropolymer) vent panels are pre-bulged, circular designs. These panels are suitable for higher operating conditions of up to 70% of the burst rating positive pressure and negative pressure of up to 14.7 psig (1.02 barg) full vacuum.
CFR / CFS
The SFR and CFS composite (metal/fluoropolymer) vent panels are pre-bulged, square and rectangular designs. These panels are suitable for higher operating conditions of up to 80% of the minimum tagged rating pressure and negative pressure up to 1.5 psig (0.1 barg) full vacuum.

and 316SS support section. The composite vent panel is available in rectangular (CPR), square (CPS), or
circular (CPC) configuration. Burst pressures range from a minimum of 1.5 psig (0,10 barg) to a maximum
of 10 psig (0,69 barg).
- Standard sizes from 10" up to 44"
- Custom sizes on request

are prebulged, circular vent panels utilizing a composite metal/fluoropolymer
construction. The SFC vent panel is available in sizes 10" through 30" (25 cm through 76 cm) diameter
and available in burst pressures ranging from 2.0 psig (0,14 barg) to 10 psig (0,69 barg), depending on
the type vent panel.
- Standard sizes from 10" up to 30"

CFR / CFS
Composite Formed Rectangular and Square Vent Panel
The Composite Formed RECTANGULAR (CFR) and Composite
Formed SQUARE (CFS) Vent Panels
are designed to provide
instantaneous overpressure protection for dry, bulk handling
and storage
equipment, such as dust collectors, air scrubbers, sieves,
elevators, driers, silos, spreaders and screens.
The CFR and CFS Vent Panels are designed to allow a full and immediate
opening to minimize
structural or mechanical damage that may be caused
by expanding gases. These gas expansions
can result from the deflagration of
dust, gases or mists in equipment, rooms, buildings or other enclosures.
- Standard sizes from: 18" x 35" up to 26" x 44"
- Custom sizes on request
- Burst pressure between 0.07 and 0.69 bar
- Options for vacuum and wind load protection
- Temperatures up to 121 Deg C
