Bi-Directional Overdriven / Unstable Detonation Flame Arresters – UL / ULC / FM / USCG
25000 / 26000Gas Groups:
25000 – D | IIA
26000 – D, C | IIA, IIB3
Protectoseal Series 25000 and 26000 Detonation Flame Arresters are specifically designed to withstand confined deflagrations, stable detonations and overdriven (unstable) detonations. These arresters are bi-directional and are designed to withstand and arrest the high velocity and high pressure flame fronts that may develop in long or complex piping runs encountered in vapor recovery or manifolded tank systems. These can be mounted in any location in a piping system so long as initial temperature and initial pressure guidelines are followed.
