Typical KITO® flame arrester elements, which prevent the propagation of flames and explosions (both deflagration and detonation) in all kinds of tank farms. Our tested and certified tank accessory satisfies the current version of EN ISO 16852, which includes safety regulations and environmental protection.

Explosion-proof and enduranceburning-proof KITO®-end-of-line devices Armaturenon tanks, vessels GmbH Venting lines and pipelines that enable an on-going exchange of gases, must be protected with explosion-proof devices. These are called end-of-line deflagration or endurance-burning flame arresters (with the appropriate design). QUALITÄT ⋅ SCHUTZ ⋅ SICHERHEIT They enable tanks to breathe out flammable gases and breathe in fresh air unrestricted in total safety. A weather hood made of acrylic glass and strainer prevents the penetration of rain, dirt and foreign objects. Weather hoods made of metal...

Detonation proof KITO® flame arresters Armaturen GmbH In the event of explosive gas-air mixtures igniting in a pipeline, a (stable) detonation can develop from a deflagration under certain instances. QUALITÄT ⋅ SCHUTZ ⋅ SICHERHEIT The impact of such a detonation is considerable with greatly increased pressure and flame speed; our KITO® detonation flame arresters are specifically designed for such scenarios. The fitted KITO® flame arrester element remains functional and arrests the flame front following the pressure wave. We can also develop certified devices for an unstable detonation (although...

Deflagration-proof KITO® flame arresters Armaturen GmbHin a pipe then If explosive gases ignite QUALITÄT ⋅ SCHUTZ ⋅ SICHERHEIT the explosion initially starts as deflagration characterised by relatively low pressures and flame speeds. KITO® in-line deflagration flame arresters (fig. 13 to fig. 16) are installed to prevent a flame spreading to other parts of the system. In contrast to detonation arresters, there are limits for the length of pipe between any possible source of ignition and the flame arrester. Where there are special conditions, e.g. installation in torch lines or thermal incineration...

Design of the KITO® flame arrester element Armaturen GmbH KITO® deflagration, detonation and endurance burning flame arresters comply with the international standard EN ISO 16852. They have all been systematically type­ pproved a and are supplied with a CE declaration of conformity. They therefore fully comply with the European directive 2014/34/EU (ATEX 100). QUALITÄT ⋅ SCHUTZ ⋅ SICHERHEIT The German Code of Practice 967 issued by VdTUEV and the German Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health are the German implementations of the European Directive 99/92/EG. They clearly stipulate the necessity...

Additional KITO® devices Armaturen GmbH In addition to our flame arresters according to international standard, we manufacture a variety of versions from in-line valves to end-of-line valves with particularly low set pressures (fig. 20). QUALITÄT ⋅ SCHUTZ ⋅ SICHERHEIT Fig. 20: KITO® In-line pressure and vacuum relief valve Special features and special versions such as e.g. heating with electricity (fig. 21), water or steam, inductive proximity switches etc. can be manufactured according to the client‘s specification.
