Abstract
Flame arrestors and methods of making flame arrestors are described herein. An example flame arrestor includes a cylindrical body. The body includes a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The first end of the body has an end surface. The body also includes a recess formed in the end surface of the first end. The recess is defined by a recessed surface extending inward from the end surface toward the second end. The body further includes a set of channels formed through the body between the first and second ends. The channels extend through the recessed surface.
Claims20
A flame arrestor comprising:
- a single unitary cylindrical body, comprising:
- a first end, the first end having an end surface;
- a second end, the second end opposite the first end;
- a recess formed in the end surface of the first end, the recess defined by a recessed surface extending inward from the end surface toward the second end;
- and
- a set of channels formed through the body between the first and second ends, the set of channels extending through the recessed surface.
A flame arrestor comprising:
- a cylindrical body, comprising:
- a first end, the first end having an end surface;
- a second end, the second end opposite the first end;
- a recess formed in the end surface of the first end, the recess defined by a recessed surface extending inward from the end surface toward the second end, wherein the recessed surface includes triangular surfaces that extend inward from the end surface toward the second end;
- and
- a set of channels formed through the body between the first and second ends, the set of channels extending through the recessed surface.
A flame arrestor comprising:
- a cylindrical body, comprising:
- a first end, the first end having an end surface;
- a second end, the second end opposite the first end;
- a recess formed in the end surface of the first end, the recess defined by a recessed surface extending inward from the end surface toward the second end;
- and
- a set of channels formed through the body between the first and second ends, the set of channels extending through the recessed surface, wherein the body has a head portion at or near the first end and a threaded portion at or near the second end, and wherein the head portion has a hexagonal cross-section.
A method comprising:
- printing, via a three-dimensional (3D) printer, a flame arrestor on a substrate, the flame arrestor including a single unitary cylindrical body, the body including:
- a first end, the first end having an end surface;
- a second end, the second end opposite the first end;
- a recess formed in the end surface of the first end, the recess defined by a recessed surface extending inward from the end surface toward the second end;
- and
- a set of channels formed through the body between the first and second ends, the set of channels extending through the recessed surface.
A flame arrestor comprising:
- a single unitary cylindrical body having multiple layers of a same material bonded together, the body including:
- a first end, the first end having an end surface and a recess extending into the end surface, the end surface forming an outer-most surface of the first end, the recess defined by a recessed surface;
- a second end, the second end opposite the first end;
- and
- a set of channels formed through the body between the first and second ends, the set of channels extending through the recessed surface such that none of the channels extends through the end surface.
