Pipeline Flame Arrester
Pipeline flame arrester is a safety device used in pipelines to prevent the propagation of flames or explosions. It is designed to allow gases or vapors to pass through while stopping any flames that may occur, thereby protecting equipment and personnel from potential hazards.
Overview
Features and Components
Housing Material: Typically made from stainless steel, carbon steel, or other corrosion-resistant materials.
Element: The internal element consists of a crimped metal ribbon or other types of flame-quenching elements that dissipate heat and extinguish the flame.
Type of Flame Arresters
. End-of-line: Installed at the end of a pipeline or vent.
. In-line: Installed within a pipeline.
Mounting: Flanged, threaded, or welded connections.
Flow Direction: Unidirectional or bidirectional, depending on the specific application.
Size: Available in various sizes to accommodate different pipeline diameters.
Temperature and Pressure Ratings: Designed to operate within specific temperature and pressure ranges.
Explosion Group: Classified according to the types of gases and vapors they can safely handle (e.g., Group IIA, IIB, IIC).
