Generally, for a 40-mesh 304 stainless steel wire mesh fire arrestor, what is the typical pressure drop?
The pressure drop of a flame arrester is generally less than 300 Pa
The pressure loss is generally between 0.52 and 1.2 kPa; it varies depending on the manufacturer. It is best to prepare a technical specification based on the process requirements so that the manufacturer can respond accordingly. There is a difference; technical concessions can be made within the allowable range.
I attended a flame arrester training session some time ago, and the manufacturer said that the pressure drop is determined based on the user’s requirements. For example, if you request 0.1 MPa, that’s what will be used; 0.05 MPa is also acceptable, though it means the cross-sectional area of the flame arrester has to be larger.
