Abstract

The paper first outlines the practical need for explosion arresters, including pressures arising from recent legislation. The nature of pipeline explosions is then considered, including the problem of potential transition to detonation together with the implications for arrester testing. Current testing procedures for flame and detonation arresters are then reviewed and potential problems identified. Finally, recent results from potentially more rigorous and reproducible testing approaches are discussed. © Institution of Chemical Engineers.
