A flame arrester (also spelled arrestor), or flame trap is a device that will allow free passage of a gas or gaseous mixture but will interrupt or prevent the passage of flame. A flame arrester functions by absorbing the heat from a flame front thus dropping the burning gas/air mixture below its auto-ignition temperature; consequently, the flame cannot survive. The heat is absorbed through channels (passages) designed into an element. These channels are chosen and measured as the MESG (maximum experimental safe gap) of the gas for a particular installation. These passages can be regular, like crimped metal ribbon or wire mesh or a sheet metal plate with punched holes, or irregular, such as those in random packing. For flame arresters used as a safety device, the mesh must be protected from damage due to being dropped or struck by another object, and the mesh must be capable of rigidly retaining its shape during the propagation of a flame front. Any shifting of the individual wires that make up the mesh can create an opening large enough to allow the flame to penetrate and spread beyond the barrier. Flame arresters should be periodically inspected to make sure they are free of dirt, insects using it as a nest, or corrosion. The U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board concluded that an uninspected and badly corroded flame arrester failed to prevent a 2006 explosion at a wastewater treatment plant in Daytona Beach, Florida.

🔸➡️ Flame arrestor are passive, mechanical devices installed on a storage tank nozzle or in a vapor piping system. It’s primary function is to allow gases to pass through during normal operating condition, but stop a flame in order to prevent an explosion or fire propagation under emergency situations.

Flame Arrestors: Flame Arrestors eliminate heat by dispersing and cooling the flame front to a temperature below the ignition temperature of of the flammable gas in the system. flame arrestors are fire safety devices which allow air and flammable gases to pass, but prevent propagation of flames through the device, they are passive safety devices, they have no moving parts and do not require a source of energy to function. flame arrestors prevent the propagation of a flame front from outside of a storage tank or process vessel to the inside, or of a flame between interconnected items of equipment.

Under normal operating conditions, the construction of the flame cell allows for combustion air to flow freely from the protected side of the system toward the unprotected side.⁠ ⁠ The protected side is typically the exposed area on a facility where operators and wellsite workers may be present.⁠ ⁠ The unprotected side of the system, in many cases, is the stable and continuous combustion source.⁠ ⁠ To find out what happens when a flashback occurs, what a flame arrestor must be able to do, and why proper testing is of vital importance: ⁠ • Watch the full video: https://lnkd.in/gf_Zh-zq⁠ • Read the article: https://lnkd.in/gjaucqAd⁠ ⁠ #AirIntakeFlameArrestor ⁠ #FlameArresstor ⁠ #ClearChoice⁠

🔥 Flame Arrestors: Keeping Your Processes Safe! 🔥 Ever wondered how to prevent a flame from traveling through a pipe and causing a catastrophic explosion? That's where Flame Arrestors come in! These vital safety devices are designed to stop flames from passing through a vent or pipe, ensuring your processes remain secure.  Here's how they work: * A flame front is trapped within the flame arrester, allowing it to cool down and extinguish. * The flame arrester's mesh grid prevents the flame from passing through, preventing the spread of fire. * A typical flame arrester includes a housing, flange, and a protected side with a mesh grid. Flame arresters are essential safety components in industries that handle flammable liquids and gases. They help mitigate risks and prevent potentially dangerous accidents.

What is the Fire Resistant Cable? Fire Resistant Cable means the cable can work properly for a certain period of time when subject to a fire. The specified fire conditions include typically a propane gas flame at a temperature of 650 to 950 degrees, with/without the external shock of mechanical shock or spray water. The Cable Fire Resistant Test Apparatus is designed to determine the ability of the cable to maintain circuit integrity when subject to fire under specified conditions.

Purpose of Flashback Arrestor? A flashback arrestor in a gas cutter serves the essential purpose of preventing a dangerous phenomenon known as flashback. Flashback occurs when a flame travels back into the hoses of the gas cutting equipment, reaching the fuel gases and potentially causing a serious explosion. The flashback arrestor is designed to stop this backward flow of flame, protecting both the operator and the equipment from the risks associated with flashback incidents. It adds a crucial layer of safety to the use of gas cutters, ensuring a secure and controlled operation.
