Explosion Vents
Note: Remove all shipping materials, including
covers, from the explosion relief vents
prior to installation. Failure to remove
shipping covers will seriously
compromise explosion vent operation.
• Explosion relief vents must be safely directed
outdoors away from personnel, buildings,
property, offices, walkways, and catwalks to
reduce risk of damage to property and personal
injury. Explosion venting calculations are based
on formulas from NFPA-68, 1998 for outdoor
applications only, with no duct or obstructions
on the explosion vent panel.
• Explosion vents are suitable for negative
pressure installations only.
• Contact Donaldson for assistance in calculating
safe and specific venting requirements for Torit
equipment.
Note: Standard explosion vents are intended for
outdoor installations only.
Caution!
• Personal injury, death, or property
damage can result from material
discharge during venting.
• The material discharged from an
enclosure during the venting of an
explosion should be directed safely to
an outside location.
• The risk of damage or injury can be
minimized or avoided by locating
vented equipment outside buildings and
away from normally occupied areas.
