Model 6A00
Inline Defl agration
Flame Arrestor
OBJECTIVE
The Model 6A00 inline deflagration flame arrestor is a device
that can be fitted to the opening of an enclosure or to the connecting pipe
work of a system of enclosures.
Its primary function is to allow the flow of gases or vapor of
flammable liquids through the enclosure, but prevent the transmission of a flame.
The element inside the housing provides an extinguishing barrier to the ignited
vapor mixture by absorbing heat from the flame. The Model 6A00 is used as an
independent safety system to ensure explosion protection.
TECHNIQUE
6A00 flame arrestors are designed on the principle of "quenching
gap". The crimped SST metal element allows vapor to pass through in order
to allow a vessel to breath, yet prevents the propagation of a flame from the
exposed side to the protected side.
