Fike UK

Fike is the experienced, trusted expert in explosion protection, rupture disc technologies, fire detection & suppression solutions and energy storage protection. As one of the world’s most trusted manufacturers of reliable explosion protection technologies for nearly any industry and application we offer comprehensive solutions to keep facilities and people safe:

Explosion Venting and Flameless Venting: One of the most cost-effective explosion protection methods, explosion vent panels relieve a deflagration’s pressure and flames from the vessel in order to keep its total pressure below its design pressure. When flames cannot be vented to a safe location, flameless explosion vents can often be installed on top of deflagration vent panels. These flameless devices allow pressure to escape the vessel and the flames to be extinguished by the flame filter, preventing secondary explosions.

Explosion Suppression and Isolation: Detects, isolates and extinguishes the explosion in its very early stages before destructive levels of pressure can be reached and to prevent the spread of explosions through interconnecting pipes or ducts. Each Explosion Isolation System is custom designed specifically to mitigate your hazard risk and meet the needs of your application and business. This is based on your unique combination of hazard, equipment to be protected, interconnections, location, regulatory and operating conditions.

Consultancy: Fike provides unmatched explosion protection consulting for your unique process and ensures it complies with your local standards. Our capabilities include hazard identification and risk analysis, non-electrical equipment ignition risk assessments, vessel strength analysis and computational fluid dynamics (CFD).

Explosion Testing: Fike offers a wide range of bench-scale, and industrial-scale tests to determine explosibility characteristics of process media, and to validate protection strategies. Fike’s Combustion Test Lab provides empirical evidence about the explosibility characteristics of a facility’s dust. We offer small-scale (20 litre) and world-standard large-scale (1 m3) chambers, both of which are designed to provide accurate measurements that represent real-world, industrial-sized applications. Fike’s Innovation and Testing Centre also conducts daily large-scale explosion testing to advance the industry’s understanding of explosion safety and to validate the unmatched reliability of Fike protection systems.

Other Fike Products and Services:

Rupture Discs: When working with elevated pressures and temperatures in the process industry, one unexpected pressure-related event can result in the catastrophic destruction of equipment, and most importantly, inthe loss of life. For 80 years, Fike rupture discs have been used in these applications to “burst”precisely when called upon to relieve hazardous overpressure environments. Fike manufactures and supplies a full range of forward and reverse acting rupture discs and custom engineered products.

Fire Detection and Suppression: Fike’s comprehensive fire protection systems can detect a fire in its earliest stages and suppress it without causing any collateral damage. We offer a range of solutions including fire detection and control, flame, smoke, gas and linear heat detection and chemical agent & inert gas suppression.

Energy Storage Protection: Fike’s suite of solutions protect Energy Storage Systems from Fire, Explosions and Thermal Runaway risks, these include BESS Safety Consulting, Thermal Runaway Management, Fire Protection and Explosion Protection.
