The Blast Valve Type E 1540 is a heavy duty valve that protects the interior of a shelter from blast waves caused by outside explosions. The valve is normally open with an airflow rate up to 2000 m³/h (1180 cfm). It withstands blast waves of 60 bar (842 psi) reflected pressure. It is maintenance-free and temperature and corrosion resistant. The springs are manufactured from special stainless steel and all steel parts are phosphate treated and finished with a powder coating.
