Flame element
Crimped-metal-ribbon (CMR)
SELECTOR
PRODUCT

This element is one of the most widely used types. CMR arresters
are made of alternating layers of thin, corrugated metal ribbons
and flat metal ribbons of the same width, which are wound
together on a mandrel to form a many-- layered cylinder of the
ARRESTER
FLAME

desired diameter. The thickness of the cylindrical element is equal

to the ribbon width. The spaces between the corrugations and
the flat ribbon provide multiple small gas passages of approxima-
BREATHER
VALVES

tely triangular shape. Elements can be made in a variety of crimp

heights, ribbon and element thicknesses, and diameters.
RELIEF VALVES
PRESSURE

Some major advantages are: they can be manufactured to within

close tolerances; they are sufficiently robust to withstand mecha-
nical and thermal shocks; and they have a fairly low resistance to
flow (pressure drop) because usually only about 20% of the face
RELIEF VALVES
VACUUM

(cross-sectional area) of the arrester is obstructed by the ribbon.

The layers of ribbon must not spring apart because this would
increase the crimp height and render the device ineffective. Since
effectiveness in quenching a flame diminishes rapidly with thin
HATCHES

arresters, the elements should be at least 0.5 in. thick.

GAUGE

The elements are often reinforced by inserting metal rods radially

through the assembly. CMR arresters may use single or multiple
EMERGENCY

elements with the crimp perpendicular to the ribbon.

VENT

A drawback of CMR arrester elements is their sensitivity to dama-

FEATURES
SPECIAL

ge during handling. This must be considered during maintenan-

ce. Damage may lead to either enlarged channels that allow fla-
me penetration, or to channel collapse that increases the pressure
REFERENCE

drop. Therefore, the FNC’s instructions should be strictly followed

LIST

during maintenance and cleaning. Another possible problem is

that the small channel size may make the elements more suscep-
tible to fouling due to solids deposition, and regularly scheduled
REPRESENTATIVES

or predictive maintenance is essential when this is possible.

CMR elements are installed in housings in one method, the ele-

ment can be removable, in which case it can be cleaned and rein-
stalled or replaced without taking the housing from the piping.

CMR arresters are used to stop deflagrations and detonations.
