Fike’s high performance Vmax vent features a single membrane, multi-dome area that secure the longest service life for rough conditions such as pulsating or cycling, higher operating pressures, and stronger vacuum. The Vmax explosion vent has been tested to perform after 100,000 positive pressure cycles from 0 to 80% of the minimum stamped burst pressure and approximately 1,000,000 vacuum-to-positive cycles of -1 psig to 25% minimum stamped burst pressure (typical of dust collectors). Standard applications include separation, drying, preservation, transport, and processing operations.
