Introduction
Scope of the Manual
This Instruction Manual provides speci cations,
installation and maintenance instructions and parts
ordering information for the 7 Series ame arrestor.
Product Description
7 Series ame arrestors are designed to stop the
propagation of con ned low pressure de agration.
The 7 Series is typically used for end-of-line and near-
end-of-line applications when the system operating
pressure is near atmospheric levels and when there is
minimal probability of a ame stabilizing on the ame
arrestor element for an extended period.
Designed with anged connections, this arrestor
allows removal of the ame cell element for easy
cleaning and replacement without removing the
arrestor body from the pipe connection. Standard
housing construction is aluminum, carbon steel or

Principle of Operation
Flame arrestor allows gas to pass though it but stops
ame in order to prevent a larger re of explosion.
Arrestor prevents ame by absorbing and dissipating
the heat from ame as it attempts to travel through the
spiral wound crimped ribbon ame cells. These cells
allow maximum ow with maximum protection.
Factors Affecting Flame
Arrestor Performance
Gas Group
!
WARNING
Methanol is classied by the National
Electrical Code (NEC) as a Group-D
vapor. However, our lab tests indicate
that methanol exhibits characteristics
unlike other Group-D vapors under
certain conditions. We therefore
recommend that an arrestor rated
for Group-C vapors be specied for
methanol service.

The type of gas in the system determines its gas
grouping and therefore predetermines the type of
arrestor element required. The element must be
designed to accommodate the specic gas group that
could possibly ignite and propagate in the system. The
more explosive gases require the ame cell to absorb
the heat more quickly and efciently. The National
Electrical Code (NEC) groups gases into A, B, C, D
and G.M. categories depending on the Maximum
Experimental Safe Gap (MESG) of the gas.
Maximum Experimental Safe Gap
(MESG)
!
WARNING
Verify that the Flame Arrestor being
installed has the appropriate gas group
rating for your process. This information
is shown on the nameplate attached to
the element housing. Do not remove or
alter this nameplate.
The measurement of the maximum gap between two
equatorial anges on a metal sphere that will prevent
a ame from being transmitted from the sphere to the
surrounding ammable mixture. MESG is dependent
on gas composition. The stoichiometric mixture (the
ideal air/fuel ratio for the most efcient combustion)
is used to determine the minimum MESG for a
given gas. See Table 2 for the MESG per gas group.
Maximum Initial Operating Pressure
This is the pressure of the system at or near static
ow conditions. High pressure deagration can occur
more easily at higher system operating pressures than
at pressures near atmospheric. Elevated pressures
condense the ignitable gas giving the ame more
matter and energy to release thereby boosting the
ame heat intensity. Verify that your system pressure
at or near static ow conditions does not exceed the
maximum pressure shown on the arrestor’s name tag.
Endurance Burn Time
!
WARNING
Unlimited burning should not be allowed
in any ame arrestor, regardless of its
burn time rating. If burning can occur for
a period exceeding 2 minutes starting at
ambient temperature, it is recommended
that a temperature alarm and shutdown
system be installed.
Endurance burn time is the time it takes for a stabilized
ame, at greatest heat saturation conditions, to
heat the arrestor element above the auto-ignition
temperature of the process gas stream resulting in
ame propagation through the arrestor. See Table 3 for
the 7 Series endurance burning time.

Pipe Lengths
Extended lengths of pipe allow the ame to advance
into more severe states of ame propagation such as
high pressure deagration or detonations. 7 Series
Flame Arrestors should be installed in accordance with
the Table 4.
Bends and/or Flow Obstructions
CAUTION
For maximum safety, avoid bends
and ow obstructions within 10 pipe
diameters on the protected side of the
ame arrestor.
Bends in piping, pipe expansions and/or contractions,
valves, orice plates or ow obstructing devices of
any kind contribute to turbulent ow. Turbulent ow
enhances mixing of the combustible gases, greatly
increasing the combustion intensity. This can result in
increased ame speeds, higher ame temperatures
and higher ame front pressures than would occur in
normal ow conditions.
Installation
!
WARNING
Always make sure that the system is
at atmospheric pressure and there is
no ignitable gas that could ash when
either installing or maintaining the unit.
Connection
Enardo ame arrestors are normally provided with
CL150 raised or at face anges. Other ange
patterns are available upon request. Make sure the
companion anges installed in adjacent piping match
the anges on the ame arrestor.
Standard compressed ber gaskets that withstands
temperatures of 450°F / 232°C are standard. Graphite
gaskets with higher temperature ratings are available
as an option.
Positioning
CAUTION
The ame arrestor is tted with lugs
for lifting the element assembly during
servicing operations. These lugs are
not intended for lifting the entire unit
during installation. Damage to the ame
arrestor may result from improper
lifting. Heavy units should be lifted
using appropriately rated Nylon (PA)
straps rigged on the outside of the
tension studs.
The ame arrestor should be positioned such that the
element is accessible for removal. The tension studs
are supplied with jacking nuts on one half of the bolting
circumference. Install the unit so that the jacking nuts
(on the inside of the studs) are positioned on the
opposite side from the direction that the element
assembly will be removed.
Models that have drain plugs are designed for
horizontal installation and should be installed with the
drain plugs aligned at the bottom of the unit. Models
that have pressure taps are designed to allow pressure
gauges to be installed on both sides of the ame cell
assembly to determine blockage. The pressure taps
should be aligned at the top to allow easy viewing
of the gauges. Units that are equipped with optional
internal cleaning systems should be connected to a
source of cleaning media such as water, steam or
other suitable solvent.
Flow Direction
The Enardo ame arrestor is bi-directional and can be
installed either vertically or horizontally. Consideration
should be given to non-symmetrical assemblies that
5
North America Only
7 Series
include features such as clean-out ports, temperature
monitoring device or other options that might have
a preferred installation direction to suit the needs of
the customer.
Piping Expansions and Reductions
Adjacent to Flame Arrestors
!
WARNING
No instrument, tubing or other device
whatsoever shall circumvent the
ame arrestor in such a manner to
allow a ame path to exist around
the ame element of the arrestor.
When instrumentation is installed in
such a manner that it creates a path
circumventing the ame element of an
arrestor, measures must be taken to
prevent passage of ame through the
instrumentation device and/or system.
Instrumentation must be capable
of withstanding the maximum and
minimum pressures and temperatures to
which the device may be exposed.
An Enardo ame arrestor may be installed in any
vapor control line that is smaller than or equal
to the nominal pipe diameter of the arrestor’s
connection anges.
When it is necessary to increase the diameter of the
piping on the downstream side of the ame arrestor,
a length of pipe at least 120 pipe diameters must
be installed between the ame arrestor and the
expansion. A pipe diameter is considered as the inside
diameter of pipe having a nominal size equal to the
ame arrestor’s connecting anges.
Maintenance
3. Inspect the ame cell with a calibrated pin gauge
to ensure maximum crimp size openings do not
exceed the following values for their respective
gas group:
• Explosion Group D – 0.051 in. / 1.3 mm
• Explosion Group C – 0.038 in. / 0.965 mm
• Explosion Group B – 0.017 in. / 0.432 mm
4. If any damage is noted, or crimp openings
exceed maximum size allowable, replace the
element assembly.
5. Keep the element openings clean to prevent
loss of efciency in absorbing heat. Remove the
element assembly and clean the elements to
prevent the openings from becoming clogged
with particulate matter. Clean the element with a
suitable cleaning media (solvent, soap, water or
steam) then blow dry using compressed air. Be
careful not to damage or dent the cell openings
as this would hamper the effectiveness of the unit.
Do not clean the arrestor elements by rodding to
remove blockages, as this practice will damage
the elements and seriously impair the arrestor’s
performance. If the arrestor element cannot be
cleaned satisfactorily, replace it.
6. For best cleaning results, use a high pressure
sprayer with spray wand (1500 to 3000 psig /
103 to 207 bar) to clean the entire element
surface. Hold the spray nozzle perpendicular
to the surface being cleaned to maximize spray
media penetration into the element. Alternately
spray each side of the element surface until clean.
7. The cleaning interval should be governed by the
amount and type of particulate in the system to
which it is installed and must be determined by
the user. To determine the maintenance interval,
the user should check the element in the rst few
months of operation to nd how quickly particulate
accumulates in the cells.
8. After cleaning, thoroughly inspect the element for
damage. If damaged, replace it.
!
WARNING
Flame cells must be inspected for
damage immediately following a
deagration and/or stabilized burn.
1. Carefully remove the element assembly from
the arrestor and place it on a soft surface such
as plywood.
2. Inspect the ame cell visually for any signs of
corrosion or other damage.
6
Note
Under no circumstance should the
element bank be disassembled from its
shell for cleaning or replacement. The
element section must be replaced as a
complete assembly.
Cleaning of units equipped with this
system may be accomplished in several
ways including periodic cleaning using
manually operated valves, by use of
North America Only
7 Series
an automated cycle timing method
or by having the cleaning operation
initiated whenever the pressure loss
across the arrestor element exceeds a
predetermined value.
Element Assembly, Disassembly and
Reassembly Instructions
!
WARNING
Isolate gas supply and bring system
to atmospheric pressure to prevent
ignitable gas from ashing while
performing maintenance.
1. Loosen all jacking (inside) nuts on tension studs
between conical sections of the ame arrestor.
2. Tighten the inside jacking nuts on the tension
studs forcing the two conical sections apart. When
the two ange faces have separated, remove the
tension studs that do not have inside jacking nuts
so that the element assembly can be removed.
The inside jacking nuts are installed on all tension
studs that facilitate jacking the unit apart. The
inside jacking nuts are not installed on tension
studs that are taken out, for ease of removal.
CAUTION
Element assemblies are heavy and will
require the use of adequate equipment
and manpower to prevent injury.
3. Thoroughly clean the gasket sealing faces being
careful not to damage the sealing surface. For
reassembly, lightly grease one side of a new
gasket and place it in the machined recess of each
interior ange on the two conical sections.
4. Replace the ame element assembly with a new
assembly or properly cleaned and inspected
existing unit.
5. Loosen the jacking nuts on the tension rods until
the ame cell assembly seats onto the gaskets.
6. Replace all tensioning studs and hand tighten the
outer nuts. Check to be sure that all the jacking
nuts are completely loose and not making contact
with the ange face.
Torquing Instruction
CAUTION
Excessive or uneven torquing can
cause permanent damage to gaskets
and housing.
Tools/Supplies Required
• Torque wrench appropriate for the specied torque
• Socket wrenches of the proper size to t the hex
nuts being tightened
• Molydisulde based lubricating paste,
Molykote® G-n or equivalent
• Brush suitable for applying lubricant to the studs
• Wiping rags necessary for the clean up of
excessive lubricant
Procedure
1. Use studs and nuts that are free of visible
contamination and corrosion.
2. Apply lubricant to the threads of the stud
protruding outboard of the interior anges and
to the face of the hex nuts which will contact
the ange.
3. Assemble the nuts to the studs such that the
amount of thread extending outboard beyond the
nut is approximately equal on both ends.
4. Tighten the nuts to the torque values shown
in Table 5 following the designated sequence,
repeating the sequence as shown. Flange pattern
tightening sequences are shown in Figure 4.
Bolt Lubrication
Lubrication will affect required torque of clean
fasteners in good condition more than any other factor.
In fact, 90% of applied torque goes to overcome
friction while only 10% actually stretches the bolt.
Table 5 assumes that only machine oil is used as a
lubricant. Table 6 shows a list of several common
lubricants and their effect on torque required to stretch
bolts to 50% of their yield strength. Most are available
from local bearing distributors.
