Company Description

Fike UK are specialist suppliers of a comprehensive range of explosion protection and overpressure equipment to all the major industrial sectors. We are the UK arm of a globally recognised supplier of reliable products and services that have been protecting people and critical assets from fire, explosion and over-pressurisation since 1945. For over six decades Fike have been manufacturing bursting discs, oilfield products, explosion protection products, and fire detection, control and suppression equipment. Fike are the only supplier in the world who are capable of offering design, testing, validating, manufacturing and supply of such equipment all within its own premises.

Because we don't rely on anyone else, you can be assured that our systems are all finished to the highest quality and safety standards. Our unrivalled combination of expertise and experience makes Fike UK your premium choice of partner when it comes to explosion and over-pressure prevention systems. We know the challenges you face in ensuring your plant is safe, and we understand the complex legislative environment in which you operate. So if you're thinking of designing or redesigning a plant, why not let Fike take away the burden by providing ATEX compliant protection solutions.



Bursting Discs

Over-pressurisation can lead to disaster. It can cause injuries, equipment damage, business interruption and downtime. That's why it's a good idea to make a cost-effective investment in a pressure relieving solution. Bursting discs (also known as rupture discs or bursting disks), are designed to ensure a leak-tight seal within a vessel or pipe until the internal pressure rises to a certain predetermined level. To prevent damage caused by over-pressurisation, the bursting disc will rupture when this level is crossed. All of our bursting discs, holders and pressure relief devices are compliant with global code regulations and are designed to meet or exceed performance, reliability and quality requirements.

Explosion Venting

When you need effective, affordable explosion venting solutions that are ATEX certified, Fike is your natural choice of supplier. Explosion venting is one of the most effective forms of passive explosion protection. By providing a planned pathway for expanding gases to escape, our systems offer overpressure protection from industrial explosion hazards. Potentially life-threatening situations and industrial equipment damage are therefore avoided. What's more, our vents are practically maintenance free, making them a cost-effective solution to explosion protection.

Flameless Explosion Venting

It's often the case that process equipment might need to be located indoors, making passive explosion ventilation difficult or impossible. That's why Fike has designed, developed and built flameless explosion venting solutions, allowing you to protect equipment without relocating process machinery and without the need to use expensive explosion vent ducting. Our FlamQuench systems extinguish the flame from the vented explosion and prevent it from exiting the device where it could potentially cause secondary explosions and put personnel at risk.

Explosion Isolation

Comprehensive explosion risk management should always include methods of preventing business downtime, minimizing equipment and facility devastation, and most importantly, protecting staff. Fike has developed explosion isolation systems that detect and mechanically or chemically obstruct flame pathways, stopping the spread of explosions to other areas of the process. Mechanical explosion isolation utilises specially designed valves which close within milliseconds of explosion detection. Chemical explosion isolation is achieved by the rapid discharge of an explosion suppressant chemical. To find out more about how these devices work, please visit the Fike website, where you'll also find our other ranges of great explosion protection products.

Fire Detection Products

 Fike offers a comprehensive range of quality fire protection products which utilise the most innovative technologies but which are still convenient to install and operate. They include:

• The Cheetah Xi Intelligent Fire Protection System – a digital, p2p, bi-directional fire detection and control system to be used with fire alarms, clean agent suppression installations, carbon dioxide suppression installations and watermist and sprinkler installations. 

• SHP-PRO Conventional Fire Detection and Fire Protection System – A complete fire protection package with an easily configurable system. For use in a range of industries. 

• Linear Heat Detection – a versatile, cost-effective fire detection product that’s suited to harsh environmental conditions and applications where maintenance is made difficult by the conditions. 

• Early Warning Air Monitoring Equipment – a highly reliable aspirating detection device.     



Pressure Relief Products

Overpressure conditions can damage equipment, inflict personal injury, interrupt business and create lengthy downtime. We offer inexpensive solutions in the form of high quality bursting discs and bursting disc accessories. Bursting discs, sometimes referred to as rupture discs, are designed to provide a leak-tight seal within a pipe or vessel until the point at which the internal pressure rises to a predetermined level. The bursting disc ruptures when this level is reached, preventing equipment damage and reducing the risk posed to personnel safety. Fike supplies a full range of bursting discs, holders and pressure relief devices which are all compliant with global code regulations.
