ISO 16852 Flame Arrestor Testing in Cargo Systems
The ISO 16852 standard specifies the requirements for flame arrestors used in cargo systems on board ships. Compliance with this standard ensures that flame arrestors effectively prevent the spread of fire and explosion hazards within the cargo systems, thereby enhancing safety at sea.
Flame arrestors are critical components designed to stop flames from traveling through cargo systems, which can be highly flammable. The testing procedure outlined in ISO 16852 involves subjecting a flame arrestor to various conditions that simulate real-world scenarios it might encounter on board a ship. This includes testing under different flow rates, pressures, and temperatures.
During the test, the specimen is subjected to a controlled ignition source, and its ability to maintain an effective barrier against fire spread is evaluated. The apparatus used in this testing ensures that the flame arrestor performs consistently across all specified parameters. Compliance with ISO 16852 not only meets regulatory requirements but also provides peace of mind for shipping companies by ensuring their cargo systems are safe from potential fires and explosions.
Here’s a brief overview of what we do:
