The Cashco 6K00 Pressure / Vacuum Vent with Flame Arrestor is designed for use on atmospheric and low-pressure storage tanks where pressure and vacuum relief is required.

The design include a deflagration flame arrestor consisting of a crimped SST metal element which allows the flow of gases or vapor of flammable liquids but prevent the flame-transmission from the outside.

It provides an extinguishing barrier to the ignited vapor mixture by absorbing heat from the flame. The model 6K00 is used as an independent safety system to ensure explosion protection.

Technique

Weight loaded pallets in the vent housing allow the intake of air and the escape of vapors as the tank breathes due to thermal changes and product movement in and out of the tank. The pallets open and close to permit in breathing and out breathing necessary to maintain the tank pressure within permissible limits to avoid damage to the tank.
