[Solved and can be closed] Calculation of vertical flame arresters
Thread Content
This post was last edited by Lin Xuefeng on 2013-7-5 08:58. I’ve searched the Internet for information on the design of flame arrestors, but most of it deals with the design of pipeline flame arrestors and the principles behind their design. The flame arrestor used in our system is a vertical device; therefore, despite downloading many materials, I’m still unable to determine its diameter and height. I hope experienced experts can help me out
The calculation of flame arrestors requires grouping based on the components of the gas, in accordance with the regulations set forth by NFPA321, NEC, and IEC; this determines the internal structure of the flame arrestor. Then, it is determined based on the length of the pipeline whether to use a flame-retardant or explosion-suppressing type flame arrester.
