In-line detonation
If explosive vapour or gas mixtures are ignited in a pipe,
a deflagration can develop into a (stable) detonation if the
pipe work and run-up length are appropriate. The resultant
force of such an detonation is tremendous; the KITO©
detonation proof safety devices are built for this. The
mounted flame arrester element will remain functioning
and will hold back the flames that follow the shock wave.

Also if an unstable detonation must be taken into account,
there is a range of devices tested and certified for this specific
hazard.
In-line Detonation
Flame Arrester
In-line Detonation Flame Arrester
The selection of the right detonation arrester is based on the explosion group of the handled media. The KITO© range of products include safety devices for all explosion groups. The use is limited to atmospheric conditions, devices tested and certified for higher initial pressures are also available.

The installation and the flow direction can be chosen freely; most of the KITO© detonation arresters are bi-directional .i.e. protection is proven against a detonation from both sides. The flame arrester elements are optimised for lowest pressure drop while using a modular system of housings.

Where there are special conditions for appertaining to the nature of the system, e.g. installation in torch lines or thermal incineration plants, the incorporation of one or more thermal sensors on the flame arester element is mandatory for identifying an outbreak of fire. An appropriate switch circuit that triggers emergency measures against a potential endurance fire must be connected.
