Should an explosion occur, an explosion vent will rupture and protect the vessel by reducing the overpressure within it and releasing the explosion into the surrounding environment in a controlled manner? Industrial processes vary widely depending on the sector and the product. No two processes are identical.

Filter installations with pneumatic cleaning systems and high vacuum operations require an explosion vent that can withstand vacuum and positive pressure cycling for a long periods of time. For such requirements the GE style vent is the best choice. Its domed design enables negative pressure resistance without the need for an extra vacuum support. Standard GE features include pressure spike tolerance and integrated flange gaskets.
If the negative pressure is not greater than 60% of the rated opening pressure, installation of a domed vent has no extra benefit. For this application the KE style vent is an alternative to the domed GE. The KE provides long durability and aerodynamic advantages compared to the domed type, for example in cyclones. Pressure spike tolerance, integrated flange gaskets, cross rib and folded edges are standard KE design features.
The KER style vent is perfect for standard applications in powder handling and storage. The KER is suitable for plant equipment with static over/under pressure conditions up to 50% of the rated rupture pressure. A unique feature with the KER is that edge reinforcement in its design allows the KER to be mounted without an outlet flange thus reducing installation costs. Cross rib and folded edges are other standard KER design features.
