SV Series Flame Arrester
Principles of Operation
The Elmac Technologies® SV Series of Light Duty End-of-Line Flame Arresters are designed for installation at an end of a pipeline, or on an atmospheric vent from vessels where flammable gases or vapours may be present.
SV Series Flame Arresters provide a cost-effective solution for situations where a simple lightweight product is required. Typical applications include gas purging of equipment, sample lines and instrumentation lines.
The Elmac SV Series Flame Arresters use elements with small apertures that allow gases or vapours to pass. During an atmospheric deflagration, the combustion products are cooled at the element surface by heat dissipation and this eliminates a potentially catastrophic situation by preventing the combustion process from travelling into the protected vent line.
Explosion Groups
The Elmac SV Series Flame Arresters are ATEX certified for gases in Explosion Groups IIA1, IIA, IIB1, IIB2 and IIB3 with an operating temperature up to +60oC.
