Amal deflagration flame
arresters are available for both end of line
and in line applications.
End of line flame arresters are located at
the end of the pipe (with no piping after it)
and are designed for protection against unconfined
deflagrations.
Amal end of line flame arresters can also
be supplied endurance burn proof and this type
of arrester is often used on storage tanks
where long filling and thermal breathing can
be present and the flow of the flammable mixture
cannot be stopped.
Amal in line deflagration
flame arresters are located within the process
line (with piping
on both sides of it) and offer protection against
low flame velocities (subsonic speeds). Deflagration
arresters are usually located close to the
source of ignition and within limits specified
by the manufacturer.
