Flame Arrestors prevent the passage of flames in storage vessels & along associated pipe-work systems & have applications in a wide range of industries including petroleum & petrochemicals, gas, marine & sewage treatment. Download Literature in pdf format.

INSTALLATION

Series 8350 Flame Arrestors should be mounted with axis vertical & as close as possible to the potential source of ignition.
Series 8360 Flame Arrestors have been designed for fitting to the down-turned end of free vent pipes.

CONSTRUCTION

Series 8350 Flame Arrestor consists of a tube bank made up of spirally wound alternate layers of flat & corrugated stainless steel sheets built around a solid core. The tube bank offers a multiplicity of small holes parallel to the line of flow. The tube element is retained between two flanged end sections & contained within an outer shell. The Arrestor assembly can be fitted with a weather hood.

DESIGN FEATURES

• Crimped Ribbon Element Design.

The corrugated "crimped ribbon" design of the Series 8350 Flame Arrestor element enables the unit to be manufactured to very close tolerances & hence can be efficiently size selected to suit the widest range of applications. Pressure drop across the Arrestor is very low & hence the unit is suitable for high gas flow rates.

Weather Hood
Weather Hoods are available for fitting to all sizes of Flame Arrestors for use where the arresters are mounted in exposed positions, e.g. on vessel roofs.

Sizing & Selection
Due to varying degrees of hazard, it is necessary to very carefully assess the type & capacity of Flame Arrestor required for safe operation. A detailed application form should be completed for every proposed Flame Arrestor application & returned to us to assist in the correct sizing of the unit required to suit each situation.
