DonadonSDD Explosion Vent Panels
DonadonSDD explosion vent panels are non-reclosing pressure relief devices designed for process equipment where there is a risk of dust or gas deflagration. When the set opening pressure (pstat) is exceeded, the panel ruptures, venting overpressure in a predetermined safe direction.
Construction and Technical Data
Standard construction is composite and includes:
- calibrated metallic section,
- sealing membrane, typically PTFE,
- protective metallic cover.
Available models: PS/R (rectangular geometry) and PS/C (circular geometry). Typical parameters: burst pressure 0.1 bar g, tolerance ±10% to ±20%, operating temperature up to 260°C, operating margin 50–70%. Options include vacuum support and electrical or inductive activation indicators.
Process Applications
Common installations:
- dust collectors and bag filters,
- silos and bulk storage vessels,
- dryers, sifters, and separators,
- mixers, troughs, and conveying lines,
- air systems, boosters, air purifiers.
Suitable for static, pulsating, or cyclic pressure loads in the presence of gas and/or combustible dust.
Standards and Certifications
ATEX PS/EX versions are certified EX II GD or EX II D. Technical documentation confirms compliance with ATEX 2014/34/EU and protection type per EN 14797 for explosion venting devices.
Model Selection
PS/R is selected for rectangular venting surfaces on filters, silos, or flat walls. PS/C is used for circular nozzles or flanged vessels. Selection requires: equipment volume, dust Kst/Pmax, allowable reduced pressure (Pred), temperature, vacuum, ATEX zone, and vent duct presence.
FAQ
Is replacement required after activation?
Yes. The panel is non-reclosing and must be replaced after opening.
Can it be integrated with automation systems?
Yes, via electrical or inductive activation indicator.
Is a machined frame required?
Installation is possible between welded frames or non-machined profiles in carbon or stainless steel.
Description
Certifications
Quality certifications are a guarantee. DonadonSDD has obtained the following certifications.
DonadonSDD provides high-quality products that meet the safety requirements of the systems where they are installed. The organisation and procedures fully comply with the ISO 9001 standard to ensure the utmost quality for our products. Our quality system has also met the stringent requirements of the UNI EN 9100 standard concerning design, development, and manufacture of rupture discs for the aerospace industry.
DonadonSDD products – such as rupture discs, explosion venting panels, and rupture indicators – are certified in compliance with PED directive 2014/68/EU or ATEX directive 2014/34/EU. The rupture discs alone are manufactured, tested, and certified in compliance with ASME directive, Section VIII, Division 1 and carry the relative UD stamp.
DonadonSDD is subject to inspections carried out by 3-A Sanitary Standard, Inc. (3-A SSI) so that our rupture discs can meet the highest sanitary standards.
Upon request, our clients can ask independent inspectors to certify single batches.
