Explosive atmospheres - Part 49: Flame arresters - Performance requirements, test methods and limits for use (ISO/IEC 80079-49:2024)
This document specifies the requirements for flame arresters that prevent flame transmission when explosive gas-air or vapour-air mixtures are present. It establishes uniform principles for the classification, basic construction and information for use, including the marking of flame arresters, and specifies test methods to verify the safety requirements and determine safe limits of use. This document is applicable to pressures ranging from 80 kPa to 160 kPa and temperatures ranging from -20 °C to +200 °C. This document does not apply to the following: - external safety-related measurement and control equipment that might be required to keep the operational conditions within the established safe limits; - flame arresters used for explosive mixtures of vapours and gases, which tend to self-decompose (for example, acetylene) or which are chemically unstable; - flame arresters used for carbon disulfide, due to its special properties; - flame arresters whose intended use is for mixtures other than gas-air or vapour-air mixtures (for example, higher oxygen-nitrogen ratio, chlorine as oxidant); - flame arrester test procedures for reciprocating internal combustion engines; - fast acting valves, extinguishing systems and other explosion isolating systems; - Flame arresters used in gas detectors (those being covered for example, by IEC 60079‑29‑1 and IEC 62990‑1). This edition cancels and replaces ISO 16852:2016, which has been technically revised. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to ISO 16852:2016: a) adaptation of the relevant IEC TC 31 requirements on standards; b) modification of the upper limit of the temperature range from 150 °C to 200 °C under the condition that T0 shall be not larger than 80 % of the auto ignition temperature of the gas-air-mixture; c) change of the term "explosion group" to "equipment group" due to editorial requirements in IEC/TC 31; d) clarification of the conditions and requirements for flame arresters whose intended operating conditions are outside the atmospheric conditions in 7.3.4 and 7.3.5; e) clarification of the requirements on the information for use in Clause 12 f) concerning the burn time; f) addition of a permission to the construction requirements both in 7.1 and 14.1 to substitute visual inspection by performing a flow test; g) addition of a flow chart for the evaluation of test results as Annex D
Explosive Atmosphären - Teil 49: Flammendurchschlagsicherungen - Leistungsanforderungen, Prüfverfahren und Einsatzgrenzen (ISO/IEC 80079-49:2024)
Dieses Dokument legt die Anforderungen an Flammendurchschlagsicherungen fest, die Flammen-durchschläge bei Vorhandensein von explosionsfähigen Gas-Luft- oder Dampf-Luft-Gemischen verhindern. Es stellt einheitliche Grundsätze für die Klassifizierung, die grundlegende Konstruktion und die Informationen für den Einsatz einschließlich der Kennzeichnung von Flammendurchschlagsicherungen auf und legt Prüfverfahren zur Überprüfung der sicherheitstechnischen Anforderungen und zur Bestimmung der sicheren Einsatzgrenzen fest.
Dieses Dokument gilt für Drücke von 80 kPa bis 160 kPa und für Temperaturen von −20 °C bis +200 °C.
ANMERKUNG 1 Für Flammendurchschlagsicherungen unter Betriebsbedingungen innerhalb des Anwendungsbereichs, aber außerhalb der atmosphärischen Bedingungen, siehe Anhang E.
ANMERKUNG 2 Dieses Dokument kann für Betriebsbedingungen, die von den oben festgelegten abweichen, als Leitlinie für die Auslegung und Prüfung von Flammendurchschlagsicherungen dienen. Dieses Dokument kann auch für die Auslegung zusätzlicher Prüfungen im Zusammenhang mit den spezifischen Einsatzbedingungen verwendet werden. Dies ist besonders bei hohen Temperaturen und Drücken wichtig. Die Prüfgemische müssten in diesen Fällen möglicherweise verändert werden.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für folgende Produkte:
externe sicherheitsrelevante Mess- und Überwachungseinrichtungen, die erforderlich sein könnten, um die Betriebsbedingungen innerhalb der festgelegten sicheren Grenzen zu halten;
ANMERKUNG 3 Eingebaute Mess- und Überwachungseinrichtungen, wie z. B. integrierte Temperatur- und Flammenmessfühler sowie Bauteile, bei denen es beispielsweise beabsichtigt ist, dass sie schmelzen (Rückhaltestift), wegbrennen (Wetterhauben) oder sich verformen (Bimetallstreifen), fallen in den Anwendungsbereich dieses Dokuments.
Flammendurchschlagsicherungen für explosionsfähige Gemische aus Dämpfen und Gasen, die zum Selbstzerfall neigen (z. B. Acetylen) oder die chemisch instabil sind;
Flammendurchschlagsicherungen, die bei Schwefelkohlenstoff eingesetzt werden, da dieser spezielle Eigenschaften besitzt;
Flammendurchschlagsicherungen, die bestimmungsgemäß für andere Gemische als Gas-Luft- oder Dampf-Luft-Gemische (z. B. höheres Verhältnis Sauerstoff-Stickstoff, Chlor als Oxidationsmittel) eingesetzt werden sollen;
Prüfverfahren für Flammendurchschlagsicherungen an Hubkolben-Verbrennungsmotoren;
ANMERKUNG 4 Dies schließt die Auslegungsanforderungen ein, nicht aber die Prüfung nach dem Einbau;
Schnellschlussventile, Löschsysteme und andere Explosionsentkoppelungssysteme;
Flammendurchschlagsicherungen, die in Gaswarngeräten verwendet werden (z. B. diejenigen nach IEC 60079 29 1 und IEC 62990 1).
Atmosphères explosives - Partie 49: Titre manque (ISO/IEC 80079-49:2024)
ISO/IEC 80079-49:2024 spécifie les exigences applicables aux arrête-flammes qui empêchent la transmission d’une flamme lorsqu’un mélange explosible gaz-air ou vapeur-air est présent. Il établit des principes homogènes pour la classification, la construction de base et les informations pour l’utilisation, y compris le marquage des arrête-flammes, et spécifie des méthodes d’essai permettant de vérifier les exigences de sécurité et de déterminer les limites de sécurité d’utilisation. Le présent document s’applique pour des pressions comprises entre 80 kPa et 160 kPa et des températures comprises entre –20 °C et +200 °C. Le présent document ne s’applique pas aux cas suivants: – appareils externes de contrôle et de mesure qui peuvent être exigés pour le maintien des conditions opérationnelles dans les limites de sécurité établies; – arrête-flammes utilisés pour des mélanges explosibles de vapeurs et de gaz qui ont tendance à s’autodécomposer (par exemple l’acétylène) ou qui sont chimiquement instables; – arrête-flammes utilisés pour le disulfure de carbone, du fait de ses propriétés spécifiques; – arrête-flammes destinés à être utilisés pour des mélanges autres que des mélanges gaz air ou vapeur-air (par exemple avec un rapport oxygène-azote plus élevé, avec présence de chlore en tant qu’oxydant); – procédures d’essai d’arrête-flammes pour moteurs à pistons à combustion interne; – vannes à fermeture rapide, barrières d’extinction ou autres systèmes d’isolation d’explosion; – arrête-flammes utilisés dans les détecteurs de gaz (ceux qui sont couverts, par exemple par l’IEC 60079‑29‑1 et l’IEC 62990‑1). Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace l’ISO 16852:2016, qui a fait l’objet d’une révision technique. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l’ISO 16852:2016: a) adaptation des exigences pertinentes du CE 31 de l’IEC relatives aux normes; b) modification de la limite supérieure du domaine de températures de 150 °C à 200 °C à condition que T0 ne soit pas supérieure à 80 % de la température d’auto-inflammation du mélange air-gaz; c) modification du terme "groupe d’explosion" en "groupe d’appareils" en raison des exigences rédactionnelles du CE 31 de l’IEC; d) clarification des conditions et des exigences relatives aux arrête-flammes dont les conditions d’utilisation prévues sont en dehors des conditions atmosphériques en 7.3.4 et 7.3.5; e) clarification des exigences relatives aux instructions d’utilisation à l’Article 12, f), concernant le temps de brûlage; f) ajout d’une autorisation aux exigences de construction en 7.1 et 14.1 pour remplacer l’examen visuel par la réalisation d’un essai d’écoulement; g) ajout d’une Annexe D qui fournit un organigramme pour l’évaluation des résultats d’essai.
