Detonation/Flame Arresters
Product involves the testing and analysis of detonation/flame arresters. Testing is performed according to standard ASTM, FM, EN, SAE, UL, or custom developed test procedures. Measurements may include detonation/flame speed and pressure wave characteristics. Detonation Flame Arrestors are certified to suppress deflagration and detonation propagation in piping up to 24 inches in diameter. Fuel and air is mixed within flammability limits. Piping length is adjusted to produce deflagration or detonation. Evaluations are conducted with Group C (ethylene) or Group D (propane). Combustion propagation range from low and high deflagrations to stable and overdriven detonations.
