Choosing a Latch Release Based on Pressure Requirements
Selecting the correct release force for your safety latch depends on a number of factors and should be determined by calculating pressure point of vessel release. Our calculator can help you choose the correct latch release for your application. Other determining factors in choosing a pressure release latch include:- Operating environment
- Exposure to corrosive substances
- Volatility of the pressurized substance
- Material weight
- Vessel construction.
Refer to the latest version of NFPA No.68 and all other applicable codes to calculate the venting requirements of your vessel: in general, the lowest practical setting should be used.
Factory Mutual Global (FMG) and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) have different pressure setting requirements. To be safe, the lowest practical setting should generally be used. Always consult all codes and regulations pertaining to your specific situation.
