Flame Arrester
Flame Arrester is used for preventing of flame transmission any more when an explosion is occurred inside of the piping which is full of explosive mixed gas.
It's known as inflammability prevention equipment, reverse flame prevention equipment from old day.
It's limits so as not to be occurred extension of damage when explosion is occurred in chemical equipment or the progress of work.
In addition to, if safety equipment of this kind is installed you can prevent from big calamities occasionally.
Function of Flame Arrester is to stop of flame when it's extraordinary.
It need practically not to disturb flowage of gas of piping inside in common operation condition.
There is several methods of principle to prevent extension of flame method by stick of water, interception of a pipe conduit by detection of flame or scattering of inactivity material but there's some practical problems as easiness of usage, reliance, a response, economical efficiency. Also, there are water seals, packed beds, velocity-type arresting device.

INTRODUCTION
The model KSFI inline flame arrester is designed, manufactured and tested according to EN ISO 16852.
The unit are passive devices with no moving parts.
They prevent the propagation of flame from the exposed side of the unit to the protected side by the use of a 316L stainless steel crimped metal ribbon type flame cell element.
This construction produces a matrix of uniform opening that are carefully constructed to quench the flame by absorbing the heat.
This provides an extinguishing barrier to the ignited vapor mixture.
The KSFI flame arrestors have specifically designed heat transfer characteristics for slow moving flames and low medium pressure fronts (low to medium deflagration).
Inline flame arresters can be installed either vertically or horizontally within a designated distance from the potential ignition extras.
The standard flame cell is suitable for NEC group D or IEA IIA gases. Cells for other gas groups are avbailable as additional extras.
The flame arresters are available with either aluminum, nodular iron, cast steel, 304SSss, 316SS and 316LSS housings, Iron and steel housings are supplied epoxy coated.
Sizes range from 15mm to 600mm and available upon request.
Standard flanges are ANSI 150lb and other connections are available upon request.
The flame arresters have additional Atex cert.(2"~12")
