What is a good size for an explosion venting panel or an explosion vent panel?

Due to manufacturing costs, always try to make your vent size rectangular explosion panel not a round explosion panel, it’s cheaper.  If your vent calculation requires 1.4m2 of actual vent area, you should not request a vent that size 1m x 1.4m2!  Costing about 1,500 euro as a special plus a spare.  It is too big, expensive and will fatigue earlier.  Look at the smaller more frequently used sizes, e.g. 305 x 610mm= 0.18m2 <280 Euro, 586 x 920mm = 0.54m2 <370.00 Euro or 920 x 920mm. 0.84m2 < 580.00 Euro.  If you buy more of the smaller sizes you can get a bigger quantity discount and you can carry minimum spares across your total facility.
