The use of the flame arrestors Is one of the essential measures taken to avoid or minimize the possible ‘consequences. Their application is widespread , ranging from the protection of small solvent tanks to the safety of large and complex process plant. The oil, gas, petroleum ‘chemicaland petrochemical industries are major users, A flame arrester is a static device which stops a flame entering into the storage tank or process vessel containinga flammable gas or vapour. An end-of line type flame arrestor is, fittedat the extreme downstream end ofa pipeline. ‘The arrester consists of a flame quenching element contained within a housing which Incorporates thread or flange connections for fitting to pipe work. The element is often of ‘greater diameter than the pipe work in order to compensate for pressure drop and therefore the housingis enlarged accordingly Figure 4: ‘yplcal inline Type flame Arrestor TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION Size 1° (DN25) to 20" (ONS0O) Flame arrester type Inline Type End of line Type End of the line with Non-Return Valve Rating 150% (Higher ratings on request) End connection Flanged (As per ASME 816.5) ‘STANDARD MATERIAL OF CONSTRUCTION Body ‘A216 Gr.

KEY FEATURES: * The Key to the proven flame arresting capabilities of Nirmal flame arrestor is the element pack, specially woven gauze resistant stainless stee! wire gauge provides a controlled and reproducible aperture size combined with the necessary physical strength. Aseries or pack of these corrosion resistant gauge is assembled and the depth is maintained considering the flame speeds and over Pressures likely tobe encounteredin end ofthe line applications. + Extensive flame testing in accordance to the appendix A of BS 7244-1990 and with clause 2:Aof IS: 11006-1984 has been carried out at CMRI testing cell, Dhanbad. * These not only provide exceptional protection against fire and explosion from external ignition, but also offer effective flow at the lowest resistance (pressure drop) of the flammable gasor vapour. + They are extremely robust and will both resist the pressure waves which accompany flame fronts and withstand vigorous cleaning when required. * Quick and easy inspection and maintenance, due to reduced weight and simple removal of element. + Complete range of sizes from ¥% inch - 20 inch are available with flat face or raised face flanges to match ANSI 150# connections (higher size on request) ajoa/[Link] Nirmal ingustrial Controls Pvt Lt.
