GAS / AIRTIGHT DOORS

Gas tight and airtight doors are required on sites where there is a possibility of a noxious gas leakage. Their specialised locking mechanisms and seals ensure that they protect people and areas from gases entering and exiting the environment, and causing further harm. Originally designed for creating a watertight and airtight space in the marine industry, they have been adapted to be ideal for environments requiring an airtight seal such as bio-hazard laboratories, hospitals, and military buildings.

MANUFACTURE

As with all Pensher Skytech products, our gas tight and airtight doors are designed to meet the specific site requirement.

The performance of the door can be seriously impaired by incorrect installation, fixings or damaged seal, resulting in a system that may fail. Pensher Skytech therefore have a dedicated installation team to ensure they are installed correctly or they can provide detailed fitting instructions for maximum effect.

Often, the gases combine with the releases of pressure, thus the door must be able to resist bending movements. Designed from rigid 6mm steel plate and profiles, our airtight and gas tight doors are able to withstand a range of gas leakages, due to our gas tight seal, which is achieved through compression latching devices and special knife edge seals.

TESTING

Pensher Skytech have a hydro-static pressure test facility on-site, so that our products can be pressure tested in excess of 2.5 bar.

Testing is carried out in a specialised chamber, as defined in British Standard (BS) 7268. The internal room is then pressurised. The pressure is built up to the initial test pressure over a period of 30 minutes. The air leakage is measured by a calibrated valve.

Full pressure it held for a period of 1 hour, during which the volume of air leakage is measures, as well as visual checks being made. Pensher Skytech are happy to arrange for third party witnessing and inspection to these pressure tests

ADAPTABILITY

Pensher Skytech design and manufacture high performance products, where there is often a dual performance requirement.

Our gas tight doors can be designed to an even higher specification to double as a blast door, meaning it can be used for the storage of flammable or explosive materials.

We also have an in-house painting facility, and can provide the door in powder coated steel, stainless steel, or even a NACE Level 3 coating, which would be ideal for corrosive environments.

There are a variety of locking options for this type of door set, such as separate dogging or one handle operations, rack and pinion multi-point locking, or electro-mechanical access control with auto deadlocking and electronic monitoring.

APPLICATIONS

Pensher Skytech’s airtight and gas tight doors are ideal for protection against specific or underlying threats such as radioactive, bio-hazardous and industrial by-products. Applications typically include:

Water / sewage treatment facilities
Bio-hazard laboratories
Research facilities
Hospitals
Military buildings
Pharmaceutical rooms
Universities
Painting and coating environments
Fumigation suites
Nuclear and blast proof bunkers
