Explosion venting is one of the most common and effective forms of passive explosion protection. Explosion venting provides overpressure protection from potential industrial explosion hazards by providing a planned pathway for the expanding gases to escape. Damage to industrial equipment subjected to explosions can be controlled through use of explosion venting.
