EVALUATION OF FLAME ARRESTOR MATERIALS FOR AIRCRAFT FUEL SYSTEMS

Abstract

Flame arrestor experiments were conducted with reticulated polyurethane foam materials which are currently being used for fire protection in fuel systems of military aircraft. The flame quenching effectiveness of the 20 pore/inch material was examined in both small- and large-scale flame propagation experiments under various temperature and pressure conditions.
