NFPA 68 and OSHA approved vents with inlet gaskets included

Broken Arrow, Okla. (June 2, 2010) – Featuring industry-best lead times and significant cost savings, intelligent pressure relief specialist Oseco has introduced its new Explosion Vent Stocking Program.  The program features Oseco’s most widely used explosion vents with a lead time of only three days.

Oseco’s MV, RNDCC and CRVC (clockwise from top left) are available through the Explosion Vent Stocking Program.

The new Explosion Vent Stocking Program provides a range of vents for numerous applications.  Vents available through the program include Oseco’s MV (Metal Vent), MV-S (Sanitary Metal Vent), CRVC (Composite Vent) and RNDCC (Round Crowned Vent).

The MV’s all metal design uses a stainless steel controlling membrane with no visible holes or slits, making it ideal for use where product build-up may be a concern.  For sanitary applications, the MV-S is FDA approved.  The CRVC domed vent is excellent for use in high cycling applications.  The RNDCC is a damage resistant panel for use with round ductwork, capable of withstanding full vacuum without the need for frame support bars.

All vents are provided with gaskets on the inlet side, and meet the requirements of NFPA 68 and the OSHA Combustible Dust National Emphasis Program.  Optional burst detection systems and installation frames are available.

Vents help food processing and agricultural facilities remain OSHA and NFPA compliant

Broken Arrow, Okla. (May 13, 2010) – Leading pressure relief manufacturer Oseco will feature its full line of explosion vents at the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 2010 Conference and Expo, June 7-10 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nev.  Oseco’s explosion vents, including the new GLV-F, will be available for hands-on demonstration at the company’s booth, #1658.

Oseco’s will feature its full line of explosion vents, including the GLV-F (pictured) at the NFPA 2010 conference, booth #1658.

The GLV-F explosion vent mounts where dust builds in conveyors and grain elevators.  Should a deflagration occur, the vent opens up and releases pressure to minimize damage.  An optional sensor is available, which detects when an explosion occurs and either shuts the system down or sounds an alarm to notify personnel.  The GLV-F has a built-in outlet frame and gasket to ease installation, eliminating the need to fabricate an angle iron hold down frame.  The product meets NFPA 61 standards for the prevention of explosions in agricultural and food processing facilities.

Oseco’s full line of explosion vents meets OSHA and NFPA 68 standards for venting explosions and deflagrations.  Explosion vents are an accepted method of compliance with inspection guidelines outlined by the OSHA Combustible Dust National Emphasis Program.
