Piping and Flame Arrester System Design Considerations

Piping and Flame Arrester System Design Considerations 

When in-line detonation flame arresters are installed in single or manifolded vent systems, consideration mnst be given to the design of the system (flame arrester and piping). The following design practices shonld be considered  

Piping and flame arresters shonld be designed for the maximnm anticipated temperatnre and pressnre. 

Piping snpports shonld be designed to withstand the maximnm anticipated pressnre transients. 

Proper materials of constrnction for the flame arrester and piping mnst be selected to minimize corrosion, which if nncontrolled, conld possibly resnlt in catastrophic failnre and snbseqnent loss of containment.
