Elfab Explosion Vents Now Feature ATEX-Approved Detection



Elfab has extended its unique Flo-Tel burst-detection range into the explosion vent market with the introduction of Panel Flo-Tel.

Panel Flo-Tel is an ATEX-approved burst-detection device supplied as standard with Elfab's existing range of ATEX-endorsed explosion vents. Suitable for the most arduous applications, Panel Flo-Tel is based on Elfab's magnetically-actuated detection system that provides an open signal once the panel has operated. The system guarantees simple, fail-safe detection to minimize the risk of spurious alarms.

Elfab is the first manufacturer of pressure-relief devices to have had its panels ATEX-approved as a "Protective System" (when used with an Elfab-sanctioned frame). Panels are made from corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel as standard, but can be supplied in other materials. Standard sizes range from 0.9 ft² to 25.8 ft² while designs can be rectangular, square, circular or trapezoidal. Custom sizes are available upon request.

Elfab's explosion vents operate over a set pressure range of 0.7 psig to 7 psig and in temperatures ranging from -40ºF to 400ºF. They feature a non-fragmenting design and are suitable for use in backpressure and vacuum conditions.
