HBP OS | Offshore High Energy Blast Panel
The HBP OS is a multifunctional external blast panel engineered for offshore environments where fire-rated gas suppression and pressure relief are critical. Designed to work seamlessly with the SHX OS range of vents, it ensures full protection against blast overpressure, wind, rain, and smoke ingress. Even under the most severe offshore conditions.
Constructed from powder-coated 316L stainless steel, the HBP OS offers long-term corrosion resistance and a lifetime casing guarantee. Its flush-door design with a double-seal perimeter provides a watertight, weatherproof barrier while maintaining smooth vent operation.
Built with ISO-standard flange fixing points, the HBP OS is factory calibrated with adjustable opening pressures ranging from 100 Pa to 500 Pa+, allowing it to withstand extreme offshore wind loads without affecting blast-opening performance. Each unit includes a pull handle for on-site verification of opening force against factory settings.
Developed and live-tested at AFP’s in-house Blast Simulator, the HBP OS delivers proven reliability under real-world discharge conditions. When paired with SHX OS vents, it achieves up to a 4-hour fire rating, verified DNV-GL project certification, and future coverage under a generic product-range certification currently in progress.
Certifications & Testing
- 4 hour fire-rating when used in conjunction with SHX OS pressure vents.
- AFP Blast and Explosion tested with AFP's blast simulator.
- DNV-GL certified on previous projects on individual basis.
- Soon to be DNV-GL certified on generic design basis.
Why testing matters
Offshore systems operate in unpredictable and high-risk environments where safety margins leave no room for error. Real-world blast and discharge testing ensures that every HBP OS unit performs exactly as designed under pressure, maintaining structural integrity, reliable venting, and full environmental sealing when it matters most.

Add-ons
SHX OS
The HBP OS can be combined with the SHX OS, a universal offshore pressure vent designed for inert gas systems, when a 4-hour fire rating is required. This add-on ensures the panel continues to relieve overpressure safely while supporting explosion suppression and meeting fire safety regulations.
Grilles
The AFP product range offers several security grilles to mount on vents in outside walls for different levels of protection.
