Flame Arrester is used for oil pipeline
A flame arrester are indeed used in oil pipelines as a safety measure. A flame arrester is a device designed to prevent the propagation of flames or explosions through pipes, ducts, or vessels. In the context of oil pipelines, flame arresters are installed at strategic points to prevent the spread of fires or explosions in the pipeline.
The primary function of a flame arrester is to extinguish flames or prevent them from reaching hazardous areas. In an oil pipeline, there are several potential sources of ignition, such as sparks, static electricity, or external fires. If a fire occurs within the pipeline or if there is an external fire that reaches the pipeline, the flame arrester acts as a barrier to stop the flames from traveling further down the pipeline.
Flame arrester are typically installed at critical points in the pipeline system, such as near storage tanks, pumps, or any equipment where flammable vapors or gases may be present. They consist of a housing with a series of metal plates or mesh elements designed to disrupt the flame front and dissipate its energy. This prevents the flame from progressing and reaching other parts of the pipeline system.
