ASTM F 1273 Document Information:
Title
Standard Specification for Tank Vent Flame Arresters
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Apr 1, 1991
Scope:
This specification provides the minimum requirements for design,
construction, performance, and testing of tank vent flame
arresters.
This specification is intended for flame arresters protecting
systems containing vapors of flammable or combustible liquids where
vapor temperatures do not exceed 60°C. The test media defined in
9.1.1 can be used except where arresters protect systems handling
vapors with a maximum experimental safe gap (MESG) below 0.9 mm.
Flame arresters protecting such systems must be tested with
appropriate media (the same vapor or a media having a MESG no
greater than the vapor). Various gases and their respective MESG
are listed in Table 1.
NOTE 1—Flame arresters meeting this specification also comply
with the minimum requirements of the International Maritime
Organization, Maritime Safety Committee Circular No. 373 (MSC/Circ.
373/Rev. 1).
The values stated in either inch-pound or SI units are to be
regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for
information only.
The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test
methods portions, Sections 8 and 9, of this specification: This
standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if
any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user
of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health
practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations
prior to use.
This standard should be used to measure and describe the
properties of materials, products, or assemblies in response to
heat and flame under controlled laboratory conditions and should
not be used to describe or appraise the fire hazard or fire risk of
materials, products, or assemblies under actual fire conditions.
However, results of this test may be used as elements of a fire
risk assessment which takes into account all of the factors which
are pertinent to an assessment of the fire hazard of a particular
end use
