Abstract
Specifies requirements for materials, design, construction and performance of spark arresters for controlling the emission of sparks from internal combustion engines.
Scope
This Standard specifies requirements for the materials, design, construction and performance of spark arresters for controlling the emission of sparks from internal combustion engines. A method of testing the performance of spark arresters is set out in Appendix A.
This Standard does not cover the following:
(a) The risk of ignition of combustible materials by hot surfaces of the engine, the exhaust pipe, or the spark arrester.
(b) Aspects of installation.
(c) Applications in explosive atmospheres which may require flame arresting, exhaust gas cooling or isolation.
(d) The effect of the spark arrester on engine noise levels.
NOTE: Recommended maintenance procedures are given in Appendix B.
