END-OF-LINE
CIRCULAR PLATE FLAME ARRESTER
Series No. 670 / 6670
Protectoseal Series No. 670 / 6670 End-of-Line Circular Plate Flame
Arresters are installed where it is not necessary to conserve vapors
but where low flash point liquids must be protected against fire and
explosion from exterior sources of ignition. Standard units have NPT
thread connections. The accurately spaced circular flame arrester grid
plates are integral with the vent housing.
These
flame arresters are mounted on the end of a vent pipe from the tank.
Vapors are allowed to escape into the atmosphere and air can be drawn
into the tank through the specially designed flame arrester grid assembly.
If an ignition source outside the tank (unconfined deflagration) is
encountered, the flame arrester provides protection for the tank's vapor
space.
Suitable for Group D Vapors, such
as gasoline and methane, as referenced in the National Electric Code
(NEC Article 500), generally equivalent to International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) Group IIA.
