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.
