35000 – D | IIA
36000RP- D, C | IIA, IIB3 


Protectoseal Series 35000 and 36000RP Detonation Flame Arresters are specifically designed to withstand confined deflagrations, stable detonations and overdriven (unstable) detonations. These arresters are bi-directional and are designed to withstand and arrest the high velocity and high pressure flame fronts that may develop in long or complex piping runs encountered in vapor recovery or manifolded tank systems. These can be mounted in any location in a piping system so long as initial temperature and initial pressure guidelines are followed. 

Description

  • Bi-directional design stops a flame approaching from either direction in a piping system
  • Crimped metal arrester element minimizes pressure drops and reduces overall weight
  • Straight through flow pattern minimizes arrester element fouling and simplifies the cleaning process
  • Removable and interchangeable arrester element facilitates ease of inspection and maintenance
  • High strength, welded steel housing hydrostatically tested at 475 PSIG
  • Pressure retaining housing components are welded in accordance with ASME Pressure Vessel Code, Section IX requirements
