The speed of a flame front relative to a fixed reference point. Flame speed is dependent on turbulence, the equipment geometry, and the fundamental burning velocity.
That portion of the flame reaction zone moving into the unburned gas where the bulk of the reaction occurs and the medium reaches its ignition temperature
A device fitted to the opening of an enclosure or to the connecting piping of a system of enclosures and whose intended function is to allow flow but prevent the transmission of flame from either a deflagration or detonation.
A systematic approach for evaluating the current condition of a piece of equipment in order to determine if the equipment item is capable of operating at defined operating conditions (e.g., temperature, pressure).
