Only Flammables Flashback?
Only Flammables Flashback?
(OP)
Hello,
I am new to the subject of flame arrestors, and am in need of some fundamental help.
If a gaseous mixture to a flare is not classified as flammable, then is a flame arrestor required? Is flashback only a concern for flammable mixtures? My stream is composed primarily of Nitric Oxide.
Any reference sources would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Detonation arrestors prevent the propagation of a sonic speed flame front inside a pipe or duct.
Which are you asking about. It sounds to me like the latter but I am not sure.
