KITO® deflagration flame arrester

If potentially explosive gas-air mixtures ignite in a section of pipeline, the explosion starts out as a deflagration propagating at relatively low pressures and flame speed below speed of sound.

Description

KITO® RG-Def-I-…-1.3

KITO® RG-Def-I-…-1.3-T (-TT)

  • For installation into pipes to the protection of vessels and components against deflagration of flammable liquids and gases.
  • Approved for all substances of explosion group IIA1 (old: I) with a maximum experimental safe gap (MESG) ≥ 1.14 mm.
  • Bi-directionally working in pipes, whereby an operating pressure of 1.3 bar abs. and an operating temperature of 60 °C must not be exceeded.
  • The distance between a potential ignition source and the flame arrester must not exceed 50 times the inner pipe diameter.
  • All sizes are tested against “stabilized burning” and withstand this for indefinite time (endurance burn).
  • To detect a “stabilized burning” a thermocouple can be in-stalled at each endangered side.
  • Mounting is acceptable in any position, in horizontal as well as in vertical pipes.
