Flame Arrester is used for oil storage tanks
A flame arrester is commonly used in oil storage tanks to prevent the propagation of flames and explosions. It is a safety device designed to extinguish or inhibit the spread of a flame in a piping system or storage tank that contains flammable gases, vapors, or liquids.
The primary function of a flame arrester is to allow the flow of fluid or gas while blocking the passage of flames. It consists of a mesh or perforated metal plate or tube that is placed in the path of the fluid or gas flow. This mesh or plate has narrow passages that create a tortuous path for the flame to travel through. As the flame passes through the arrester, its heat is dissipated, and its propagation is slowed down or completely extinguished.
In the context of oil storage tanks, flame arresters are typically installed on the vents or openings of the tanks. These vents allow the release of vapors that may accumulate inside the tank due to factors like temperature changes or volatile components of the stored oil. By incorporating flame arresters into the venting system, the risk of external flames or sparks igniting the flammable vapors is reduced.
