Devastation of industrial equipment submitted to explosions can be controlled through the use of explosion venting. Explosion venting as a concept presenting a ‘weak element’ in the pressure envelope of the equipment and relieving the internal combustion pressure in case of an explosion. Fike’s high performance Sani-V explosion panels for Clean in Place / Steam in Place applications are designed with lightweight structure for simplified handling and minimal risk linked to damage during installation; made to fulfill all applicable requirements of European Standard for Explosion Venting Devices (EN 14797) and NFPA 68 Guide for Venting of Deflagrations and to appease the specific needs for clean production environments.
