Notes/TODO

• Also used on some LPG instalions.
• The 'Dry Type' is a bit hard to understand without the diagrams in the external links. Maybe someone can do up an aproximation based on the imagines in the external links?
• Have someone who didn't spend the last two hours reading up about and looking at the pictures reword it to make the text only represnation more understandable?
• Maybe redo so the 'uses' comes first instead of towards the end..
• Add all the normal wikipedia links to other articles that I didn't get around to doing while writing it up the first time..

Merger proposal

I propose that Flashback arrestor be merged into Flame arrester. They're basically the same topic. -- Phyzome is Tim McCormack 00:31, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• oppose One's a broad range of devices based on a physical principle, this article is about a narrow (but important) field of application. The most common sort of flashback arrestor isn't even a flame arrester (it's based on the mechanical effects of a shock wave, not flame cooling).

lack of sources

In the section "Wet type", there is not a single source. I believe that this article as a whole too is also not having enough sources.
