21、L NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL INTRODUCTION 1 Scope 1.1 These requirements cover tank vent deagration ame arresters and in-line detonation ame arresters. 1.2 The requirements for tank vent deagration ame arresters cover arresters for use on vents

22、 of storage tanks for petroleum oil and gasoline. These ame arresters are intended to prevent propagation of ame into the storage tank. Combination ame arrester-vent valves are also covered. 1.3 The requirements for in-line detonation ame arresters cover arresters for use in piping systems containin

23、g ammable vapors and gases in mixture with air. These ame arresters are unidirectional or bidirectional and are intended to prevent the transmission of detonation and deagration. 2 Glossary 2.1 For the purpose of this Standard, the following denitions apply. 2.2 BIDIRECTIONAL An in-line detonation a

24、me arrester is determined to be bidirectional with respect to direction of ow when: a) The investigation shows that the ame arrester performs its intended function with a detonation or deagration approaching from either direction; or b) The design of the ame arrester is symmetrical and each end is d

25、etermined as identical when approached by a detonation or deagration from either direction. 2.3 DEFLAGRATION A very rapid burning of a ammable gas- or vapor-air mixture where the ame front of the combustion wave propagates at subsonic velocity. 2.4 DETONATION An extremely rapid burning of a ammable

26、gas- or vapor-air mixture where the ame front of the combustion wave propagates at sonic or supersonic velocity and a shock wave precedes the ame front. 2.5 DETONATION, STABLE A detonation that has a velocity equal to the speed of sound in the gas- or vapor-air mixture. 2.6 DETONATION, UNSTABLE (OVE

27、RDRIVEN) A detonation that has a velocity higher than the speed of sound in the gas- or vapor-air mixture. 2.7 FLASHBACK The transmission of ame through an arrester. 2.8 TYPE I FLAME ARRESTER A ame arrester that will not ash back when subjected to the Endurance Burn Test. 2.9 TYPE II FLAME ARRESTER

28、A ame arrester that: a) Flashes back when subjected to the Endurance Burn Test, 11.2, and b) Is marked with a continuous burn time.

29、in-line detonation ame arrester is considered to be unidirectional with regard to direction of ow if it is not symmetrical and is investigated with detonations approaching only from one direction. 3 Units of Measurement 3.1 Values stated without parentheses are the requirement. Values in parentheses

30、 are explanatory or approximate information. 4 Undated References 4.1 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this standard shall be interpreted as referring to the latest edition of that code or standard. 5 Terminology 5.1 The term ame arrester as used in this S

31、tandard refers to all ame arresters covered by the scope of this Standard unless specically noted otherwise in the text or in the headings preceding the text. For example, Sections 10 14 apply only to tank vent deagration ame arresters, as noted in 9.1 and by the heading preceding Section10. CONSTRU

32、CTION 6 Materials 6.1 A ame arrester element shall be of a metal resistant to corrosion under conditions of use. 6.2 The casing or housing shall be of cast aluminum, stainless steel, ductile cast iron in accordance with ASTM A395, or the equivalent. Exception: Cast, malleable, or ductile iron may be

33、 used for a tank vent deagration ame arrester. 6.3 A gasket such as one made of animal or vegetable bers shall not be used in the construction or assembly of a ame arrester. Nonmetallic gaskets shall be noncombustible. For the purpose of these requirements a material classed 5VA in accordance with t

34、he Standard for Tests for Flammability of Plastic Materials for Parts in Devices and Appliances, UL 94, is considered to be noncombustible.

35、he casing or housing of a ame arrester shall withstand the internal pressure resulting from explosions without damage. See Explosion and Flashback Tests, Section 12 and Detonation and Deagration Tests, Section 18. 7.2 The casing or housing of an in-line detonation ame arrester shall be gas tight. Se

36、e Pneumatic-Leakage Test, Section 20. 7.3 A at joint in a ame arrester and a at surface to be mounted to a tank or pipe shall be machined to provide an arithmetical average roughness of not more than 250 microinches in accordance with the Standard for Surface Texture, ANSI/ASME B46.1-1995. The machi

37、ned surface shall provide for a joint having a metal-to-metal width of not less than 1/4 inch (6.4 mm). 7.4 All fastenings shall be protected against loosening by some means such as lock washers. 8 Provisions for Connection and Inspection 8.1 A ame arrester shall have provisions for anged or threade

38、d connection to pipe. 8.2 An in-line detonation ame arrester shall be constructed to permit ease of inspection and cleaning without removing the complete arrester from the system. PERFORMANCE GENERAL 9 General 9.1 The performance requirements for tank vent deagration ame arresters are covered in Sec

39、tions 10 14. 9.2 The performance requirements for in-line detonation ame arresters are covered in Sections 15 21. 9.3 At the manufacturers request, the Endurance Burn and Continuous Flame Tests, Sections 11 and 17, the Explosion and Flashback Tests, Section 12, and the Detonation and Deagration Test

40、s, Section 18, are able to be conducted with a different ammable gas or vapor than those specied when the arrester is marked in accordance with 23.4. 9.4 The propane and n-hexane used in the tests is to be technical grade. The gasoline is to be Naphtha R , a nonleaded distillate consisting essential

41、ly of aliphatic hydrocarbon compounds and having a specic gravity of 60 70 degrees API at 15.6C (60F). 9.5 With the exception of the Continuous Flame Test following the Endurance Burn Test 17.1.2, the tests are able to be conducted in whatever order is convenient.

42、5 7UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL TANK VENT DEFLAGRATION FLAME ARRESTERS 10 Flow Capacity 10.1 The ow capacity of a ame arrester shall be determined at the operating pressures (both positive and negative) specied for the arr

43、ester by the manufacturer. 10.2 When a ame arrester is intended for use as an emergency vent, the ow capacity shall be determined at the pressure at which the valve reaches the full open position. If the pressure at full open position is greater than 2.5 psi, and the start to open pressure is less t

44、han 2.5 psi, the ow capacity shall also be determined at 2.5 psi. 11 Endurance Burn and Continuous Flame Tests 11.1 General 11.1.1 A Type I ame arrester shall be subjected to the Endurance Burn Test described in 11.2.1 11.2.9 and there shall be no passage of ame, both during the test and when the ga

45、s valve is closed at the conclusion of the test. 11.1.2 A Type II ame arrester shall be subjected to the Continuous Flame Test specied in 11.3.1 11.3.5 and marked in accordance with 24.1(e). 11.1.3 When a ame arrester is to be provided with cowls, weatherhoods, deectors, and similar components, it i

46、s to be tested in each conguration in which it is to be provided. 11.2 Endurance burn test 11.2.1 The ammable mixture for the test is to be a 2.5 percent mixture by volume of n-hexane in air or a 1.9 percent mixture by volume of gasoline vapor in air. 11.2.2 The ame arrester is to be mounted on a ta

47、nk so that the mixture emission is vertically upwards, or mounted in the position for which it is designed and which will result in the most severe heating of the arrester. When the arrester is provided with a vent valve, the valve is to be open for the test. 11.2.3 The tank mentioned in 11.2.2 is t

48、o be provided with a burst diaphragm at one end and an inlet for the mixture at the other end. 11.2.4 The burst diaphragm is to be made of 0.0015- to 0.010-inch (0.038- to 0.2540-mm) thick cellulose acetate lm, polyester lm, polyethylene terephthalate lm, or the equivalent. 11.2.5 The mixture is to

49、be introduced into the tank and is to be ignited by a pilot ame or spark plug at the outlet of the ame arrester. The mixture may be reignited as necessary during the test. 11.2.6 Temperatures are to be measured on the surface of the protected side of the arrester element at its center, at its edge, and halfway between the center and the edge.
