 E xplosions due to flame arrester failures are destructive, expensive and
potentially deadly. Prior to 1989, no arrester provided protection against all types of
flame propagation. In fact, no practical technology existed for testing detonation
flame arresters used in piping systems. Existing flame arrester standards were
clearly inadequate for in-line applications. Improper arrester selection and
application lead to storage tank and processing unit explosions. Without an arrester

 The Westech Breakthrough
Westech is an international company which has been servicing the needs
of oil, gas, chemical and municipal sewage industries for more than 30
years. Its detonation flame arrester program began by investigating the
cause of flame arrester failures in vapor control systems. Westech
discovered that existing flame arresters were not capable of preventing
flame passage, regardless of piping configuration. It was also proven that
existing standards governing flame arrester performance were inadequate
for in-line use. Westech concentrated on developing a comprehensive in-
line detonation flame arrester standard which led to an advanced level of
flame front arrestment technology. Actual tests were conducted rather than
calculating results on paper, as had been
the accepted practice in the past.

Westech 18” diameter, 1002 foot test tube for momentum

testing of detonation flame arresters. This is the longest
arrester test tube in the world.

Definitions
End-of-Line Flame Arrester - This type of flame arrester is used
where the potential ignition source is located outside the vessel or
flow system that is being protected (unconfined); the flame travel
length is no greater than that used for flame arrester testing
(typically 5 feet/1.25 m), and there are no restrictions in the
protected side piping.
In-Line (Detonation) Flame Arrester - An arrester which has been
designed and tested to arrest flame fronts of varying pressures and
speeds with both restricted and unrestricted protected side piping
as well as long run stable and overdriven detonations.
Deflagration - A flame front that propagates by the transfer of heat
and mass to the unburned gas ahead of the flame front. Flame
speeds can range from less than 1 m/s to greater than 350 m/s
(supersonic) for very high pressure, turbulent flames.
Overpressures can range from a very small fraction to as much as
twenty times the initial pressure.
Detonations (Gaseous) - A flame front that propagates by shock
wave compression ignition in a flammable gas mixture. Flame
speeds are super-sonic with Mach numbers ranging from 5 to 15.
The pressure of stable detonation usually ranges from about 20 to
30 times the initial pressure but an overdriven detonation can
achieve compression ratios in excess of 300 at the moment of
transition from deflagration to detonation.
Overdriven Detonation - Also referred to as unstable detonation.
The condition that exists during the transition of a combustion
process from a deflagration into a stable detonation. This transition
usually has the characteristic of producing extremely high
explosion pressures in a relatively short time frame.
Stable Detonation - A detonation which has speed and pressure
characteristics which do not vary significantly as the detonation
progresses through a confined system, hence the term “stable”.
Maximum Experimental Safe Gap (MESG) - The maximum gap
between equatorial flanges in a spherical volume that will just
prevent flame transmission from the vessel to the flammable gas
mixture surrounding it.
Momentum Impulse - A phenomenon associated with increasing
lengths of stable detonation travel. As the detonation travels down
the line, the duration of temperature and pressure effects
associated with the detonation increases up to a run-up distance of
300 pipe diameters.

 Arrester Function

Quenching of the flame is accomplished by using a device which breaks

the flame into very small “flamelets” that are passed through small flame
channels in the arrester element. These flame channels cool the flame
front below the ignition temperature of the vapor mixture, thereby
quenching it. The function of an in-line (detonation) flame arrester falls into
three categories:
• Quench Flame Propagation
• Free Vapor Flow
• Independent Passive Operation
Overdriven detonations and long run stable detonations are two types
of flame propagation seen in pipeline explosions. Overdriven
detonations have the characteristic of very high pressure for short
durations, whereas long run stable detonations create high sustained
pressures. Both types of flame propagation subject the arrester to
different pressure and temperature characteristics, which have to be
addressed by additional testing.

Superior Customer Service

Through the years Westech has earned an excellent reputation

worldwide for customer service before, during and after the order. Such
services include help with project design, supervision of a customer’s
installation, user training, startup/commissioning assistance, periodic
maintenance and field warranty service.
A large selection of stock flame arresters is available for immediate
delivery. Trial units are available.

Westech’s World Class Test Facilities

Westech has the most sophisticated detonation flame arrester test

facility in the world. Line sizes up to 18” in diameter and 1,000 feet
[305 m] in length are used to test our arresters. Some of the most
severe pipeline explosions in the world are generated at this facility.
The arresters are subjected to test explosions which are
continuously monitored by eight computers, each with a sample
rate of 100,000 samples per second. Specialized instrumentation is
used to collect data from highly responsive customized gas
analyzers, and pressure, temperature and optical flame sensors. A
single test explosion generates 4 megabytes of data which is
analyzed to evaluate arrester performance. On-line analysis has
recorded flame speeds of up to Mach 7 and explosion pressures in
excess of 3,000 psi [200 bar]. Measurement of these kinds of
speeds and pressures requires critical accuracy. All calibrations,
gas analysis, pressure, temperature and optical measurements
from the arrester tests are fully traceable and reproducible.
All tests are monitored by independent third party review
organizations and accredited by standards organizations.

Unrivaled Research and Design

Westech’s first step was to evaluate a number of sites where

explosions had occurred. This led to the writing of “A Summary of
Investigations from Ten In-Line Flame Arrester Failures” which
addressed the inadequacy of current arrester designs and test
standards. From this investigation it was obvious that a true in-line
arrester capable of providing protection, regardless of piping
configuration, was required.
The development of the USCG, UL, FM, CSA and CEN standards
has advanced the area of arrester certification. However, research
into flame propagation by Westech has established the need for
further standards development. Rather than meeting the minimum
standards, Westech voluntarily tests arresters for flame front
phenomena such as momentum impulse shock, pre-compressed
deflagration to detonation transition, thermal flux, reignition of
downstream unburned gases, downstream reflected shock wave
failure, lean mixture detonations and lower MESG vapors. In order
to ensure maximum facility protection, Westech has also tested to
established installation criteria related to upstream pipe size
changes and the venting of combustion products.
Westech has made the commitment to work with standards
associations worldwide to ensure that new developments from
research are incorporated into future test standards. Because of
this commitment to continued research and development, our
customers can be assured of the highest level of protection now
and in the future.

Raising Flame Arrester Standards

Research testing discovered the primary reason for flame arrester
failures in the past and this led to the development of Westech’s
“A Comprehensive Test Method for In-Line Flame Arresters”. This
test method has been used as the cornerstone for all existing
Detonation Arrester Standards.
For this work, Westech was awarded a Certificate of Merit in the
invention category of the 1989 Canada Awards for Business
Excellence and the 1990 Canadian Gas Processors’ Association
(CGPA) Award for Innovative Excellence.

A New Generation of Arresters from Westech

From the ground breaking research into flame front phenomena
came a new generation of true in-line detonation flame arresters.
This extensive research and development lead to an arrester
designed to provide protection when installed anywhere in the
piping system. Although the first priority was to design an arrester
that would provide maximum protection, this was not enough.
Westech also designed a product that would solve many of the
operational problems common with current flame arrester designs.

Considerations for Arrester Application and Selection
Selection of the correct arrester requires a detailed look at the application and must be based on the following:
Testing and Certification
Acceptance testing which proves the capability of an arrester is the
only guarantee of arrester performance. With the growing need for
flame arresting devices, many companies are producing arresters.
Unfortunately, only some of these devices are tested to minimum
performance standards and some are not tested at all.
Explosion Capability
At the minimum, an arrester should be tested to meet a recognized
standard which requires testing for overdriven detonations, stable
detonations, long run stable detonations and deflagration testing
with restricted and unrestricted (with and without elbows and/or
valves) downstream piping.
Endurance Burn Capability
Endurance burn capability refers to the ability of the arrester to
withstand the heating effects of a flame which has stabilized on the
face of the arrester. This condition is caused when a flame travels
toward the arrester, is prevented from passing through to the
protected side, yet remains burning at the face of the arrester. The
intent of an endurance burn test is to determine the length of time
an arrester can withstand this stabilized flame without heating the
arrester element to the point where the flame is allowed to pass to
the protected side. Establishing an endurance burn capability is
important as it ensures a defined amount of response time allowed
for disruption of the gas flow feeding the stabilized flame.
5
Vapor Composition
For the purposes of arrester selection, a gas classification used by
the USCG and others is Maximum Experimental Safe Gap
(MESG). There is no guarantee of performance if the arrester is
used in an application where the vapor has a lower MESG value
than that for which the arrester has been tested.
Operating Pressure
The operating pressure for the system in which the arrester is to be
installed should not exceed the pressure at which the arrester has
been tested. Operating pressure is critical as the pressure
associated with the flame in both detonation and deflagration
modes is a direct function of initial line pressure at the time of
ignition.
Arrester Location
Once the ignition sources and the specific facility components
requiring protection are identified, the detonation flame arrester
can be placed anywhere between the two, regardless of distance
and pipe configuration.
In systems where tanks are manifolded together, there should be
one arrester providing protection for each tank. When evaluating
ignition sources in manifolded tank systems, each tank must be
considered. In order to provide protection between tanks, in-line
(detonation) flame arresters should be installed not only on the
collection line, but on each tank.
