16、 within the engine air intake system to the surrounding atmosphere. 3.2 Where backfire flame propagation is prevented by means of a flame arrester consisting of one or more component parts, this device shall a) provide access for inspection and cleaning; b) have no openings in the arrester or its co
17、nnection to the air induction system through which a backfire flame can pass; c) be constructed so that component parts cannot be misaligned during assembly or installation to an extent that will impair its effectiveness; d) include a permanent and prominent means of identification as described in 7
18、; e) provide means of securely fastening both the flame arrester to the air intake and the component parts to each other. When clamps are used, they shall be affixed to one of the major component parts in such a manner that they cannot be easily removed, and no springs shall be used for the purpose
19、of clamping. 3.3 A flame arrester adapter, if required, shall a) provide for direct attachment to the air induction system; b) be attached permanently to the flame arrester. Examples of permanent attachment would be bond, weld, rivet or threaded fastener with thread upset after assembly. No loose pi
20、eces shall be used between the flame arrester and the engine air inlet that could be left out. 3.4 For each design of an engine incorporating a backfire flame control, the air and fuel induction system shall be capable of meeting the requirements in this International Standard. Where a particular de
21、sign of the engine air and fuel induction system consists of variations so that it may be utilized in similar engines of a particular manufacturer, these variations shall also be in conformity with the requirements of this International Standard. A change in the design or construction of an engine a
22、ir and fuel induction system that was capable of complying with these requirements shall be re-evaluated and retested when appropriate. 4 Testing 4.1 Each design of the flame arrester shall be tested to determine conformity with this International Standard. 4.2 Where a particular design consists of
23、various combinations of parts, three sample assemblies need to be tested; they shall be representative of the flame-arresting performance of the cross-section of assemblies of the design. 4.3 The test of the samples representative of each design shall conclusively indicate that, when such backfire f
24、lame arresters are subjected to the test procedures of 6.1 to 6.4, the design prevents propagation of the backfire flame to the surrounding atmosphere without failure, damage or permanent deformation. 4.4 A change in the design or construction of an arrester that has passed tests as specified in 6.1
25、 to6.4 requires that the arrester be retested if the change cannot be considered and accepted under4.2. 5 Physical examination The backfire-flame-arrester assembly together with a stock carburettor designed to be used, or the engine air and fuel induction system, shall be examined for compliance wit
