What are the key points to pay attention to when installing the explosion proof vent plug - Wuxi Sinceriend New Material Technology Co., Ltd.

1. Selection and adaptation
Before installation, accurate selection must be made according to the specific conditions of the environment in which the equipment is located. The explosion hazard level of the environment should be considered. For example, in gas explosion hazard areas 0, 1, and 2, and dust explosion hazard areas 20, 21, and 22, the explosion-proof level of the required explosion proof vent plug is different. At the same time, combined with the expected pressure generated during the operation of the equipment and the actual ventilation requirements, select an explosion proof vent plug with suitable specifications. Wrong selection may cause the vent plug to be unable to withstand the pressure or fail to meet the ventilation volume requirements, which will seriously affect the safe operation of the equipment.
2. Determine the installation location
The installation location should be selected in the pressure release area of the equipment to ensure that the pressure generated by the explosion can be released in time through the vent plug. The vent must be facing away from crowded areas to prevent high-temperature and high-pressure substances sprayed out during pressure relief from causing harm to personnel. At the same time, avoid flammable materials and important equipment to avoid secondary fires or damage to key equipment. In addition, the equipment wall at the installation location must be kept flat and strong enough to withstand the load during the installation and subsequent work of the vent plug to avoid loosening or falling off during operation.
3. Standardized installation operation
Carry out the operation in strict accordance with the installation instructions attached to the product. Use appropriate and accurate installation tools to ensure that all components are tightly connected. The installation of the sealing gasket is particularly critical. It is an important component to ensure the sealing of the vent plug. It must be installed correctly and in place to prevent the leakage of flammable and explosive gases. When tightening screws, the force should be controlled. It should not be too loose to cause the parts to loosen and affect the explosion-proof performance, nor too tight to cause damage to the parts.
4. Post-installation inspection
After the installation is completed, a comprehensive and detailed inspection is required. First, check whether the installation is firm and whether the parts are loose, deformed or damaged. Then, use professional testing equipment, such as a gas leak detector, to test the sealing of the vent plug to ensure that there is no leakage. Finally, check the opening pressure of the vent plug to ensure that it can open and release pressure normally at the set pressure value, so as to ensure the safe and stable operation of the equipment under complex working conditions.
