EXP Explosion Protection System
Fike EXP is FM-approved and supports all of Fike's “active” explosion protection equipment, which may include any combination of pressure and optical detectors, suppression canisters (Fike HRDs), chemical isolation bottles (Fike SRDs) and explosion isolation valves (Fike EIVs).
Fike EXP Features:
IMPROVED USER INTERFACE
An interactive touch screen display relays easy-to-interpret system information such as status or warning notifications using descriptive text and icons.
REAL-TIME STATUS
Simple navigation allows you to monitor the status of all devices connected to Fike EXP, such as each individual HRD and SRD canister’s pressure status, lockout gate position, readiness and more.
MONITOR PASSIVE SYSTEMS
Fike explosion venting systems may also be supervised with EXP, as the burst indicators used to alert users when a vent has opened can now connect to EXP.
SYSTEM SCALABILITY
EXP can cover multiple zones within a single panel and is capable of being further expanded by connecting additional EXP panels to work independently or collectively as a shared zone for larger applications.
PROACTIVE PROTECTION
Future proof your explosion protection system for any new or cross-functional technologies developed by Fike that will be supported by EXP and will be announced in future Fike communications!

Fike SRD
Chemical Explosion Isolation (SRD)
Rapidly discharges suppressant agent and inert gas into ducts, pipes and conveyors to create a heat-absorbing chemical barrier which isolates flame propagation into connected vessels.
Flexible Installation
May be applied on small and large, round and rectangular ductwork or conveyors, and with short installation distances from the hazard due to its fast-acting delivery.
Mechanical Conveyance
Can be applied on mechanical conveying ducts, such as screw, belt or chain conveyors and bucket elevators.
Flexible Mounting
Flexible mounting orientations available to ensure efficient delivery of agent into the application.
Quick Reset
Field rechargeable which assures fast reset and low downtime after explosion.
Fike HRD
Active Suppression System - High Rate of Discharge
Fast Suppression
Patented container and nozzle designs minimize flow restrictions; gas cartridge actuator opens the bursting disc within 1 millisecond.
Spreader Nozzles
Includes Standard, Telescopic and Short-Throw nozzles to meet the application's unique demands and ensure high performance.
Hygienic Capabilities
Available with food-grade suppression agents and hygienic installation flanges.
Lockout - Tagout
HRD Lockout Assembly prevents accidental discharge during cleaning or maintenance.
Fike EIV
Active Explosion Isolation Gate Valve (EIV)
A mechanical barrier which prevents the spread of flames and pressure by closing within milliseconds of detection, effectively preventing the deflagration from propagating through process piping or duct work. Available for duct sizes up to DN400.
Bi-Directional
Isolates explosions propagating with or against the process flow.
Flexible Installation
Various mounting orientations, suitable for horizontal and vertical pipes and ducts.
Immune To Abrasive Dust
Suitable for organic and metal dust hazards, including aluminum deflagrations; and suitable for abrasive conveying applications, which may damage other types of isolation valves.
Hygienic Capabilities
Available with hygienic gate seal for low product buildup, and available in pharmaceutical execution with capability of full cleanabilty inside and outside; wetted parts do not contaminate food product.
Pressure Detection
Ceramic, Stainless Steel
Function
Detects pressure rise in the early stages of an explosion.
Benefit
- Multiple mounting styles and the possibility to configure multiple detectors and functions increase system stability

- FM5700 approved
- ATEX EN14373 & EN15089 certified
Optical Detection
IR Optical Detector
Function
Detects infrared light radiated by the incipient explosion.
Benefit
- Multiple mounting styles increase system stability
- Multiple detector variants for extreme temperature, vibration, hygienic applications and sticky or course solids
- Fiber optics for multi-spot detection
Approvals
- NFPA69 compliant
- ATEX EN15089 certified
