TECHNIQUE

6A00 flame arrestors are designed on the principle of "quenching gap". The crimped SST metal element allows vapor to pass through in order to allow a vessel to breath, yet prevents the propagation of a flame from the exposed side to the protected side.

CONSTRUCTION

Housing Material: Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel.

Trim Material: Stainless Steel (1.4571) element. Standard element is suitable for explosion group IIA1 and IIA flammable gases and vapors. Elements for other gas groups are available upon request.

SPECIAL FEATURES

The Model 6A00 is designed, manufactured, and tested according to Directive 2014/34/EU (ATEX114) and ISO 16852.

The single element design is bidirectional and available for horizontal or vertical installations.

The maximum distance between flame arrestor and ignition source should not be more than 50 x the diameter of the connection size for most hydrocarbon gases. 

Easy Maintenance: The Model 6A00 deflagration flame arrestor is a passive device with no moving parts. The flame cell element can be easily removed for inspection and cleaning in appropriate solvent solution.

Sizes: Units are available in DN50, 65, 80, 100, 125, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400 (2", 2-1/2", 3", 4", 5", 6", 8", 10", 12", 14". 16") line sizes; thread connections according to ISO7/1, BS21 or ASME B1.20.1. Standard for flange connections to EN1092-1 PN10 or ASME B16.5 150#RF.
