ANDERSON GREENWOOD

 5910C PRESSURE/VACUUM RELIEF VALVE WITH INTEGRATED 

FLAME ARRESTER (ATEX APPROVED)

SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR SAFE USE (CONTINUED)

All 5910C deflagration elements are rated 
for short time burning, tBT not to exceed one 
minute in accordance with EN ISO 16852:2016. 
These burn times were determined at 
atmospheric pressure. If there are operating 
conditions which can lead to a stabilized 
burning event, additional safety measures are 
required. The devices shall be equipped with 
temperature sensors in the hood such that 
the atmospheric side of the flame cell can be 
monitored. These temperature sensors are 
installed into the system in such a way that 
they trigger the initiation of measures for 
the elimination of the stabilized burning (for 
example, emergency functions like switching-
off the system, inerting or similar). These 
measures must occur within half of the time 
for which the flame arrester is short-time burn 
proof (0.5 x tBT). See Figure 03 for warning 
label showing burn rating, tBT. This requires 
that measures must be able to be taken within 
30 seconds. 

Threaded instrumentation ports, with standard 
1/2 NPT threads, are integrated into each hood. 
Other instrumentation port thread sizes can be 
requested. 

If the user requests the addition of temperature 
sensors by Emerson, they will either be 
installed and shipped threaded into the 
appropriate instrumentation port in the 
flame arrester hood or shipped separately 
with the flame arrester. To install the 
temperature sensors that have been shipped 
separately, simply remove any protective 
packaging from the temperature sensors 
and thread the temperature sensors into the 
appropriate threaded instrumentation ports 
in the flame arrester hood making sure to 
follow temperature sensor manufacturer’s 
instructions, particularly for wiring.

The temperature sensor shall be installed on 
the downstream or unprotected (“hot”) side of 
the flame arrester. For end of line deflagration 
flame arresters this is the atmospheric side 
of the flame arrester and the only location 
available. If the temperature sensor is shipped 
separately, the user shall be responsible 
for installing the temperature sensor in the 
appropriate instrumentation port in the hood of 
the flame arrester.

If a temperature sensor is not requested with 
the flame arrester then the end user shall be 
responsible for installation of the temperature 
sensor on the unprotected (“hot”) side of 
flame arrester. This is the side of the flame 
arrester closest to the source of ignition
