VentCalc 2.3

VentCalc by Fike Corporation is a user-friendly calculation and selection tool for designing explosion venting solutions. It helps engineers and safety professionals size deflagration vents and evaluate flameless venting for equipment handling combustible dusts, gases, or hybrid mixtures. By entering parameters such as Kst, Pmax, vessel volume and geometry, desired reduced explosion pressure (Pred), vent panel characteristics, and duct details, VentCalc estimates the required vent area, predicts reduced pressure, and guides selection of compatible Fike venting products. The software applies industry-recognized methodologies (such as NFPA 68) and produces clear, unit-consistent reports to support design reviews and documentation.

Key capabilities:

• Supports common equipment types (e.g., dust collectors, cyclones, silos, hoppers, filters, and mixers)
• Evaluates ducted and non-ducted venting scenarios
• Works in U.S. customary and metric units
• Generates concise calculation summaries and documentation-ready reports
• Aids product selection for Fike explosion venting solutions

Note: VentCalc is intended to assist qualified personnel with preliminary design and documentation. Final designs should be reviewed for compliance with applicable codes and standards and validated by Fike or a competent explosion protection professional.

VentCalc is developed by Fike Corporation. The most popular versions of this product among our users are: 1.0 and 2.3. The name of the program executable file is VentCalc.exe.
