Flame arresters - Performance requirements, test methods and limits for use (ISO 16852:2016)
ISO 16852:2016 specifies the requirements for flame arresters that prevent flame transmission when explosive gas-air or vapour-air mixtures are present. It establishes uniform principles for the classification, basic construction and information for use, including the marking of flame arresters, and specifies test methods to verify the safety requirements and determine safe limits of use. This International Standard is valid for pressures ranging from 80 kPa to 160 kPa and temperatures ranging from -20 °C to + 150 °C. NOTE 1 For flame arresters with operational conditions inside the scope, but outside atmospheric conditions, see 7.4. NOTE 2 In designing and testing flame arresters for operation under conditions other than those specified above, this International Standard can be used as a guide. However, additional testing related specifically to the intended conditions of use is advisable. This is particularly important when high temperatures and pressures are applied. The test mixtures might need to be modified in these cases. NOTE 3 An additional standard IMO MSC/Circ. 677
