Venting panels are simply weak stainless steel membranes which if designed and installed properly should last for ever. If you install a single skin flat panel on a gravity fed silo then it should last for ever but if you install the same panel on a high vacuum, reverse jet pulsing filter, then it may only last 2 months due to implosion and or fatigue. For this application you need to specify the triple section ODV panel with 500mbar vacuum resistance. This panel may be more expensive but will save in multiples of the original cost, in labour, down time and consequential loss.
Thank you. This was very helpful!!
