Q: What does 320P stand for?
A: 320P usually refers to the pressure rating of the flame arrestor. The ‘P’ here may be a specific pressure marking method, 320P means that the flame arrestor can withstand a certain pressure range, in this pressure range can work normally, to ensure the firestopping performance and safety.
Q: What is the firestopping principle of this type of flame arrestor?
A: This kind of flame arrestor usually adopts corrugated plate structure and other designs. When the flame passes through the flame arrestor, the special structure of the flame arrestor core will make the heat of the flame be dispersed and transferred to reduce the temperature of the flame, and at the same time, due to the narrowing of the passageway, it will make the collision chances of the free radicals with the passageway wall increase, and the free radicals taking part in the reaction will be reduced, thus preventing the spread of the flame.
Q: Which flammable gases can it be applied to?
A: It is generally applicable to common flammable gases, such as hydrogen, methane, ethane, propane, butane, etc. However, the specific scope of application still needs to be judged according to the specific characteristics of the gas, concentration, pressure and other factors. When selecting the type, you need to ensure that the performance parameters of the flame arrestor match the flammable gas used.
Q: How to install the flame arrestor correctly?
A: Before installation, make sure that the piping system is clean and free of impurities, oil and dirt. Before installation, make sure the piping system is clean and free of impurities, oil and grease. When installing the flame arrestor, make sure that the flow direction markings on the flame arrestor are consistent with the direction of flow of the medium, and make sure that the connections are tightly and reliably fastened to avoid leakage. For 1/4 male NPT connections, it is necessary to use suitable tools and sealing materials to ensure that the threaded connection is sealed.
Q: What are the installation location requirements?
A: The flame arrestor should be installed in the flammable gas piping system close to the source of ignition or the location where ignition sources may be generated, such as the air inlet of the combustion equipment, the exhaust port of the storage tanks, and so on. At the same time, it should be avoided to be installed in the elbow, branch and other parts of the pipeline, so as not to affect the performance of the flame arrestor.
Q: What do I need to pay attention to during use?
A: Regularly check whether the flame arrestor's flame arrestor core is blocked, deformed or corroded, etc. If there is any abnormality, it should be cleaned or replaced in time. In the process of use, avoid knocking, collision and other operations on the flame arrestor, so as not to damage the structure and performance of the flame arrestor.
Q: Why stainless steel 304 material?
A: Stainless steel 304 has good corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and mechanical strength, can maintain stable performance in the environment of flammable gases, is not easy to rust, corrosion or deformation, long service life.
Q: How to carry out routine maintenance and repair?
A: Regularly check the appearance of the flame arrestor for damage, deformation, etc., and check whether the connection parts are loose. For the flame arrestor core, it should be cleaned or replaced regularly according to the usage to ensure the flame arrestor's firestopping performance. In the process of maintenance and repair, it should be operated in strict accordance with the requirements of the product manual.
Q: What is the service life of the flame arrestor?
A: The service life is affected by a variety of factors, such as the use of the environment, the characteristics of the medium, maintenance and so on. Generally speaking, if normal use and maintenance, the service life of stainless steel 304 material flame arrestor can reach several years or even longer. But the specific service life also needs to be evaluated according to the actual situation.
Q: Is it possible to connect with pipes or equipment made of other materials?
A: When connecting with pipes or equipment made of other materials, the compatibility of the materials and the reliability of the connection should be considered. If the materials are not compatible, this may lead to problems such as corrosion and leakage. When connecting, it is necessary to use suitable transition joints or sealing materials to ensure that the connection is airtight and safe.
