Safety is no accident. With over 60 years of field experience and a team of in-house engineers, application specialists, and combustion researchers, you can rely on Fike for effective, reliable explosion protection solutions that fit your growing safety needs. We stand behind our explosion protection products with a commitment to quality, full-scale explosion testing capabilities and unprecedented expertise.
 


 
Fike is a leader in the development of effective, cost-efficient, ATEX- certified explosion venting solutions. Explosion venting, one of the most common and effective forms of passive explosion protection, 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 Fike's virtually maintenance free explosion vents.
