3.9 Lbs.-17 Lbs. Safety Release Latches

Safety release latches are used to vent explosions and require no electricity to operate, making them an ideal final line of deflagration defense. Pressure release latches function both mechanically and manually by releasing pressure once it reaches a specified point and are categorized based on pounds of pressure.

Use of safety latches is not limited to explosion venting. Many of our customers specify our latches for applications where reliable retention and release features, combined with shock absorption capabilities, are required. Brixon latches are designed to operate through tens of thousands of latch and release cycles under a variety of ever-changing positive, and/or negative pressure conditions.

Brixon Manufacturing’s Series 91 Latches are manufactured from stainless steel with either a standard, electropolish, or buff/polish/passive finish. Stainless steel safety latches provide superior strength and resists heat and corrosion, making it an excellent choice for applications where there is exposure to heat, moisture or corrosive substances.  Available options for our Series 91 stainless steel safety latches include:

Selecting a Safety Latch for Your Pressure Requirements

Selecting the correct release force set point for your pressure latch is determined by a calculation that converts PSI into pounds of force to determine the point of vessel release. Use our online calculator to help you determine which latch release is the correct choice for your application. Some of the other important factors you should consider when choosing a safety latch include:  
  • Volatility of the pressurized substance
  • Weight of the safety latch
  • Exposure to corrosive substances
  • Operating environment
It is important to know that National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and Factory Mutual Global (FMG) both have different pressure setting requirements. NFPA 68 “Standard on Explosion Protection by Deflagration Venting” is a great starting point. Always refer to all applicable codes, and regulations pertaining to your specific situation and municipality. You should always choose the lowest practical setting to ensure safety and effective pressure control.
