Deflagration and Detonation Flame Arresters

Designed for chemical engineers and other technical personnel
involved in the design, operation, and maintenance of facilities
and equipment where deflagration and detonation flame arresters
(DDFAs) may be required, this book fosters effective application
and operation of DDFAs through treatment of their principles of
operation, selection, installation, and maintenance methods. This
reference covers a broad range of issues concerning DDAs,
including:

* An overview of deflagration and detonation prevention and
protection practices

* An overview of combustion and flame propagation and how DDAs
halt propagation

* Deflagration and detonation flame arrester technology

* Installation in process systems

* Regulations, codes, and standards

* Illustrative examples, calculations, and guidelines for DDA
selection

* Appendices, including a glossary, a flame arrester
specification sheet for vendor quotation, and a listing of flame
arrester manufacturers.
