Explosion-Proof Vent Valve
Model: PB10A4K-50B-8T
The Explosion-Proof Vent Valve is designed to protect systems from hazardous overpressure while preventing the risk of explosions. This valve is built with robust materials and advanced engineering to ensure safety in environments where explosive atmospheres or flammable gases are present. Offering precise control over pressure release, it plays a crucial role in maintaining safety and stability in various industrial applications, including chemical plants and refineries.
Product Details
An Explosion-Proof Vent Valve is an engineered safety component that provides dual functionality:
✔ Daily air ventilation to balance pressure inside sealed enclosures
✔ Emergency pressure relief when internal pressure exceeds a safety threshold
It combines microporous ePTFE membrane for daily Waterproof, breathable performance, with a pressure-activated rupture mechanism that vents gas instantly in overpressure scenarios—such as thermal runaway in lithium batteries.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What’s the difference between a vent and an explosion-proof vent?
A regular vent allows gas to escape slowly for pressure balancing. An explosion-proof vent adds a rupture point to release pressure rapidly in emergency situations.
Q2: Can I choose my own burst pressure and size?
Yes! PUW offers full customization of burst pressure (3–30kPa), dimensions, venting rate, and installation type.
Q3: Does the membrane allow water to enter?
No. The ePTFE membrane is hydrophobic and oleophobic, ensuring it blocks water and oil while allowing air to pass.
Q4: Can I request samples?
Of course! We support sample delivery, small-batch trials, and fast prototyping.
