RE: Flame arrester

You could start with:

Design Pressure
Design Temperature
Material
Fluid description, viscosity, density etc.
Flow rate
Max allowed back pressure
Flange or otherwise end connection details
Any support arrangements required.

That should get you going.

Than You for Your answers C2it and LittleInch.
Please advice, if its important that the flame arrester is ATEX certified?
Thank You again.
Best regards

RE: Flame arrester

Only if the device will be installed in an EU country. As of July 2003, organizations in EU must follow the directives to protect employees from explosion risk in areas with an explosive atmosphere. The ATEX directive consists of two EU directives describing what equipment and work environment is allowed in an environment with an explosive atmosphere. ATEX derives its name from the French title of the 94/9/EC directive: Appareils destinés à être utilisés en ATmosphères EXplosibles.

RE: Flame arrester

Flame arrestors can get you into a lot of trouble if you dont know much about them - always get a technical safety engineer to help you out with this.

RE: Flame arrester

What is the application? What are the main chemicals?

Good luck,

To a ChE, the glass is always full - 1/2 air and 1/2 water.
