Explosion isolation flap valves are a cost effective passive solution installed to stop deflagration flame propagation to upstream areas through a dust collector inlet duct Within the valve there is a flap blade that rotates on a shaft and allows the valve to open and close When process air flow is on the flap blade rotates open...

The isolation flap valve as shown in Figure 1 consists of a cylindrical housing with a covered inspection port and a flap blade or plate that rotates on a shaft as the valve opens and clos third-party testing The valve s operation is passive leading to a secondary explosion Process interlocks The flap valve must provide for...

The MSS standard MSS-SP-61 Pressure Testing of Valves was originally adopted in 1961 It was developed for the purpose of providing a uniform means of testing valves commonly used in the full open and full closed type of service It is not intended for use with control valv Refer to standard ANSI/FCI 70-2 for Control Valv...

Through extensive testing by an accredited third party testing facility Nordfab has developed the Explosion Isolation Valve to be installed upstream of the dust collector How It Works Under normal operation the flap will open as the downstream air moving device generates a flow in the ductwork...

All test carried out with a pipeline after the flap picture1 Flap locked open Automatic release of the valve by the pressure of the explosion Floating flap During the test the flap valve is held fully open until the appropriate time of release Vent panel on test vessel No open ports were used during test but vent panels were always used...

an explosion hazard exists isolation devices shall be provided to prevent deflagration propagation between pieces of equipment connected by duct work One method used to provide inlet isolation of dust collectors is the use of flow-actuated flap valv Flap valves are suitable as an isolation device on the horizontal inlet ducting...

Using explosion vent panels instead of open venting ports pressure and flames escape through the ports rather than challenge the flap valve The dual-flap isolation valve is designed for installation in both vertical and horizontal orientations close to bends and near vessels due to the fast-closing flaps...

Flap valves are relatively new in the North American market and gaining wide acceptance Although flap valves have been available in Europe for several years it is only recently that they have been included in NFPA 69 Standard on Explosion Prevention Systems 2014 Edition...

May 19 2020 0183 32 Therefore the flap valve will not experience the same conditions that it will in an actual installation Excluding an explosion vent panel/bursting foil from testing may ultimately result in the flap valve being certified at higher pressures and/or closer placement to the vessel than it can successfully perform in actual installations...
