How to troubleshoot the explosion proof vent plug failure - Wuxi Sinceriend New Material Technology Co., Ltd.

When the explosion proof vent plug fails, you can follow the steps below to troubleshoot:

1. Appearance inspection

Carefully check the appearance of the explosion proof vent plug to check for signs of damage such as cracks, deformation, loose parts, etc. Check whether the vent is blocked by dust, debris or corrosion products, and check whether the sealing gasket is intact and installed correctly. If the sealing gasket is damaged or improperly installed, it may cause leakage and other problems.
2. Pressure test
Use professional pressure testing equipment to test whether the explosion proof vent plug can open and close normally under the set pressure. If the vent plug fails to open at the specified pressure, or the opening pressure is significantly different from the set value, it means that there may be a problem with the pressure sensitive mechanism.
3. Sealing check
Use tools such as gas leak detectors to perform sealing tests on the explosion proof vent plug. If there is gas leakage, it may be that the sealing gasket is damaged or there is a problem with the connection, such as loose screws.
4. Functional test
Simulate the actual working state of the equipment, such as in the case of sudden pressure changes similar to explosions, observe whether the explosion proof vent plug can be opened quickly for pressure relief to verify whether it functions normally under actual working conditions.
5. Installation check
Confirm whether the installation of the explosion proof vent plug meets the requirements of the instructions, whether the installation position is correct, and whether there are obstacles around that affect its normal operation. Improper installation may cause the vent plug to fail to function properly.
6. Check related parts
If the explosion proof vent plug is part of the whole system, it is also necessary to check related parts, such as pipes, valves, pressure relief devices, etc., to see if the failure of other parts affects the normal operation of the vent plug.
Through the above system troubleshooting steps, the cause of the explosion proof vent plug failure can be found more accurately, so as to take corresponding solutions to ensure its normal operation and protect the safety of equipment and personnel.
