EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN ISO 16852 testing. EN ISO 16852 specifies requirements for flame arresters that prevent flame conduction when explosive gas-air or vapor-air mixtures are present. It establishes uniform policies for classification, basic construction and usage information, including the marking of flame arresters, and specifies test methods to validate safety requirements and determine safe use limits.
This International standard applies to pressures between 80 kPa and 160 kPa and temperatures between -20°C and +150°C.
Flame arresters are safety devices installed in enclosure openings or piping and are designed to allow flow but prevent flame transmission. They have been widely used in the chemical and petroleum industry for decades, and various national standards exist. This International standard has been prepared by an international group of experts whose aim is to lay an international foundation by reasonably harmonizing and incorporating the latest national developments and standards.
Only relatively general performance requirements are specified and these are kept to a strict minimum. Experience has shown that excessively specific requirements in this area often create unfair constraints and hinder innovative solutions.
Hazard identification of common practices found in industry leads to the specification of test methods. These test methods reflect standard practical situations and therefore form the heart of this International standard, as they allow classification of various types of flame arresters and subsequent determination of use limits.
Test conditions lead to usage limits that are most important to the customer. This International Standard specifies this safety information and propagation through the manufacturer's written instructions for use and marking of flame arresters.
