Our Explosion Protection Capabilities

With proprietary testing facilities and both passive and active explosion protection devices, explore how Fike offers comprehensive dust explosion prevention and mitigation through our following capabilities:

Combustible Dust Testing

Provide accurate ASTM and CEN-standard measurements of a dust’s explosive characteristics represented in real-world applications. Results of dust testing may be used to determine the best solutions to protect potential combustible dust hazard areas within a facility.

Explosion Isolation

Prevent the propagation and strengthening of flame from one part of the system to another. Fike engineers and manufactures a variety of fast-acting isolation solutions, ranging from passive ValvEx flap valves to active valves such as the Fike Explosion Isolation Valve (EIV) gate valves and chemical suppression barriers.
