The domed, single layer explosion vent is suitable for use in processes with medium vacuum or overpressure (up to 70 % of min. response pressure (pstat)) and slight pressure cycling. It is particularly suitable for vessels with pneumatic filling equipment and for filters and sieves with strong vibration. The standard bursting pressure is 0.1 bar at 22 °C (71.6 °F).
When pressure rises, the EDP explosion vent opens and releases pressure out of the vessel into the surrounding area.
