Use of porous cermet baffles for flame arresting

  • Published:
Soviet Powder Metallurgy and Metal Ceramics Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Cermet flame arresters efficiently restrict the flame of burning gas mixtures; they can find extensive application in the petroleum chemical and other branches of industry.

  2. 2.

    The efficiency of flame arresters strongly depends on the pore diameter: The smaller the pore diameter, the higher the MSP value.

  3. 3.

    Within the range investigated (5–20 mm), the thickness of flame arresters does not influence the MSP value.

  4. 4.

    Porous bronze is much more suitable for flame arresting purposes than porous iron or stainless steel.
