The Shand & Jurs model 94080 Vacuum Vent
is constructed of Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic
(FRP). It has been designed for superior corrosion
resistance in oxidizing environments. The 94080
is ideally suited for a variety of tank storage
and product conservation applications. It
is applicable for the chemical, petroleum,
petrochemical and waste treatment industries.
The function of this vent is to relieve vacuum
conditions in liquid product storage tanks, and
also withstand the pressure of the stored product
when not operating under a vacuum. Its method
of operation allows pallets in the vent housing
to open and close permitting the vacuum relief
necessary to remain within permissible settings
thus avoiding damage to the tanks.
The weights are encapsulated lead. Available in
2” through 12” sizes with standard ANSI 125/150
lb or EN1092-1 PN10/16 flanges.
Construction options such as encapsulated
weights and extra corrosion barriers allow for
use in extremely corrosive environments such as
36% HCL.
The 94080 is easy to install and is completely
compatible with existing pipes, vents and
tank fittings. Its low initial cost and ease of maintenance make the FRP Vacuum Vent an attractive alternative to Stainless Steel, Hastelloy construction.
