Flame Arrester


Pressure & Flow Control Industries offers a Flame Arrester. There are several reasons for using a flame arrester. Many processes involve storage and transportation of potentially flammable or explosive gases through varying length of pipes. Where there is potential of ignition, suitable measure needs to be taken to ensure that in the event of this materials being ignited, damage to plant is minimised. The most effective method of quenching such flame is to install a Pre’con Flame Arrester either at strategic point along with pipeline, or at the end of pipe line, or on storage tank nozzles where gas/vapour are being vented to the atmosphere. Importance of a flame arrester: this is designed to protect the tank by preventing the flame propagation and explosion in the tank. The flame arrester element dissipates the heat of flame below the ignition point of the vapour. When the storage tank contains liquid having flash point lower than the possible tank temperature Flame arrester is required. Flame arresters, when properly designed, are effective, passive devices against the propagation of flame front. The function of a flame arrester is to restrict the transmission of flame front from the unprotected side to the protected side of device. Pre’con free vents allow free venting and protect from fire hazards. They prevent flame transmission by absorbing and dissipating the heat using crimped ribbon corrugated spiral wound flame bank. A free vent is used only for vertical mounting applications.
