Flame Arrestor
Deflagration Flame Arrestor
KSFH
In-line flame arrester, KSFH is designed, manufactured and tested according to API 2000, British Standard Specification Code BS 7244, EN 12874 and FM(Factory Mutual) approved.
The unit is a passive device with no moving parts.
It prevents 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 KSFH flame arresters have specifically designed heat transfer characteristics for slow moving flames and low medium pressure fronts (low to medium deflagration).
In-line 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 available as additional extras.
The flame arresters are available with either aluminum, nodular iron, cast steel, 304SS, 316SS and 316LSS housings, Iron and steel housings are supplied epoxy coated.
