Several explosion vent panels can be installed on the same process vessel to be protected.
Explosion vent construction must balance the contradictory requirements "low inertia" and "high strength".
The evaluation of an explosion vent's efficiency and its range of application are subject to rules.
During normal venting, the explosion is freely discharged, allowing flames to exit the process being protected.
When the protected vessel or pipe is located indoors, ducts are generally used to safely convey the explosion outside the building.
