Operating elements - Import export

For installation into pipes to the protection of vessels and components against deflagration of flammable liquids and gases. Approved for all substances of explosion group IIA1 (old: I) with a maximum experimental safe gap (MESG) ≥ 1.14 mm. Bi-directionally working in pipes, whereby an operating pressure of 1.2 bar abs. and an operating temperature of 60 °C must not be exceeded. The distance between a potential ignition source and the flame arrester must not exceed 50 times the inner pipe diameter. An installation into horizontal and vertical pipes is permissible. To detect a thermal load on the KITO® flame arrester element in operation a temperature sensor can be implemented as an option into the flame arrester body. Proof against “stabilized burning” and withstand this up to a max. burn time BT = 1.0 min.
