Vacuum Breaker

Vacuum Breaker for FRP Vessels

Protect Your FRP Vessels from Damage Due to Negative Pressure

FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) vessels are widely used for water treatment, chemical storage, and process industries due to their excellent corrosion resistance and lightweight structure. However, these vessels are highly vulnerable to damage under vacuum conditions that may occur during draining, sudden pump shutdowns, or improper valve sequencing.

Why Use a Vacuum Breaker?

When negative pressure develops inside the vessel, the external atmospheric pressure can exceed the vessel’s structural capacity, leading to:
✅ Vessel deformation
✅ Structural collapse
✅ Delamination of FRP layers
✅ Costly downtime and repair

A Vacuum Breaker automatically admits air into the vessel when the internal pressure drops below atmospheric pressure, equalizing pressure instantly to prevent collapse.

Key Benefits:

✔️ Prevents Structural Damage: Ensures vessel safety during draining or process interruptions.
✔️ Low Maintenance: Simple, reliable, and robust design for long service life.
✔️ Easy Installation: Can be mounted on the top nozzle of the vessel.
✔️ Essential for FRP Systems: Adds a critical safety layer without affecting the normal operation of your process.

Technical Features:

• Sizes available from ½” to 2” as per vessel design

• Corrosion-resistant construction

• Quick response to vacuum conditions
