These inclede a lightweight, (under 2.5 pounds per square foot) panel, a relisble release system, anda means to restrain the panel after blowout. ‘The pane is a honeycomb core aluminum faced assembly with a perimeter seal track and side mounted sponge seal. It weighs typically less than 2.0 pounds per square foot and is strong and impervious to vibration. It 1s designed to be reusable and docs not degrade over time. ‘The release system consists of a number of Fracture Releases, as designed for the application, mounted on studs attached to the housing around the panel perimeter. The Practure releases are mechanical fuses in a leaf - spring form. For a-certain percentage of their rating and deflection they act as a leaf spring clip holding the panel assembly tightly 4n place with good seal contact betveen the panel and housing. If there is an explosion the overload breaks the releases, instantly freeing the panel. Since- there are no holes in the panel there is no alignment problem. A change in the release rating 1s only a change of the Fracture Releases hich are available over a vide xange. The fixed rating and no moving parts avoids calibration and maintenance concerns. And if the panel is blown out only the releases need be replaced; 2 small fraction of the total assembly cost. If the panel is blown out short cable tethers restrain it. These can be arranged to hinge the movement of the panel in the most advantageous direction for the application. A special modification uses four cables to make the panel blow straight out and deflect the blast sideways to help protect nearby passageways or equipment. Any specific model of the type SM-F vent includes in its designation the vent opening size and the number of releases.

The deflection required for this is about 7 mm (.275") and the force rating is as shown by the model number. ‘The releases have split fingers that deflect at different rates. This provides an indication of the force applied and a means of balancing the releases. ‘The ideal setting is that which seats a vent panel or device firmly while deflecting the center finger and long life.

To prevent seal joint fatlure: The seal includes two internal rubber dovels. ‘These make the joint as strong as the seal it~ Self. Also, the seal length is increased to allow for shrinkage. 2. To prevent oil passage to the outside: Internal panel joints are-all sealed.
