Fire Fighting Flame Arrester Endline

A flame arrester installed at the end of a pipeline or vessel is commonly referred to as an "end-of-line flame arrester" or simply an "end-line flame arrester." This type of flame arrester is designed to prevent the propagation of flames from entering or escaping through the open end of a pipeline storage tank or other equipment where flammable gases or vapors are present.

Key features and considerations for end-line flame arresters include:

1. **Location:** End-line flame arresters are typically installed at the termination point of a pipeline or vessel where flammable gases or vapors may be released. This is crucial to prevent external flames from entering the system or internal flames from escaping into the surrounding environment.

2. **Function:** Like other flame arresters the primary function of an end-line flame arrester is to stop the transmission of flames while allowing the flow of gases or vapors. It achieves this by disrupting the flame front and dissipating heat.

3. **Design:** End-line flame arresters may have a design that incorporates a mesh or perforated plate as the flame-blocking element. This design ensures that the arrester can effectively extinguish flames while permitting the passage of gases.

4. **Materials:** Flame arresters are typically constructed from materials that resist corrosion and are compatible with the specific substances being handled. Common materials include stainless steel or aluminum.

5. **Installation:** Proper installation is crucial to the effectiveness of an end-line flame arrester. It should be securely mounted at the end of the pipeline or vessel and its orientation should be in line with the flow to ensure optimal performance.
