[Solved and can be closed] How to calculate vertical flame arresters

This post was last edited by Lin Xuefeng on 2013-7-5 08:59. I have been searching for information to calculate the parameters of flame arrestors recently, but many of the available materials only explain the principles behind their design, without providing specific formulas for calculating dimensions. Moreover, most of the information available relates to the calculation of pipeline flame arrestors, while there is very little information on vertical flame arrestors. I hope experts can help me with this:time:
The design of flame arrestors takes into account the maximum test safety clearance of the medium and the ignition temperature classification; it is advisable to provide relevant data for the flame arrestor manufacturer to make the selection. Generally, its nominal diameter is the same as that of the pipeline.
In our hydrogen systems, we use packed-type flame arrestors; the packing used in these devices consists of randomly arranged ceramic Raschig rings. Therefore, when designing vertical flame arrestors, more attention is paid to the dimensions of the equipment, as the actual design of the equipment is carried out by specialized personnel. Our role is limited to providing the external dimensions of the equipment as well as the operating conditions of the medium.
