Visual & Dimensional Inspection Procedure
ELMAC GENERIC FINAL ASSEMBLY VISUAL &

DIMENSIONAL INSPECTION PROCEDURE
All Elmac Flame Arrestors are to be visually and dimensionally checked upon completion of final
assembly.
GENERAL VISUAL INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS
 If the Flame Arrestor is supplied painted, paint should cover the entire flame arrestor body-
half and element sub-assemblies, not including stainless steel components (unless otherwise
specified), flange raised-faces and bolting, and specified machined areas.
 All sharp edges should be adequately de-burred.
 Flange raised faces should be free from scratches or marks that may prevent sealing.
 All fasteners/bolting should be stamped with the material grade as a minimum, and (if
coated), no chips or defects should be visually present on the fastener coating. All edges
should be free of burrs.
 For in-line Flame Arresters only – Connection flanges should be aligned appropriately (Bolt
holes T.D.C). Element flanges should be vertically aligned to prevent misalignment when
installed into pipework.
NAMEPLATE INSPECTION
It is crucial that nameplate and tagging information is checked for visual defects that may affect
traceability. All standard Elmac CE Nameplates should be riveted to the Element flange periphery,
ensuring the rivets are in a suitable position where they will not come loose at any time.

The correct CE nameplate should be marked in accordance with Elmac’s product marking record. The
relevant marking informaiton can also be found on the job route card.
Figure 3 - CE Label Marking example

PROCEDURE
Additional tag plates (if requested) should be attached by one of the following methods (unless
otherwise stated):
 Attachment by means of wiring the additional tag plate to the bird screen (if end-of-line) or on
an appropriate stud bolt located next to the CE label (Ref. Figure 2).
 Attachment by means of riveting the tag plate to the element central body flange periphery
(Ref. Figure 4).
An additional adhesive CE label should also be attached to the element with the relevant element
model and serial number. For end-of-line units, the Element model information will be stamped to the
outer circumference of the element crimped-ribbon core.
All label markings should be clearly visible and additional tag plates should be free of burrs.

PROCEDURE
DIMENSIONAL INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS

Care should be taken when performing dimensional checks upon each stage of manufacture.
All dimensions should be in accordance with the standard Elmac Technical File data or contract-
specific drawings.
Critical dimensions should be within the tolerances stated on the relevant drawings. These
dimensions are generally as follows:
FOR IN-LINE UNITS
Figure 5 - Dimensional details for in-line units
 The ‘raised-face to raised-face’ sub-assembly length (+/- 3.0mm)

 The overall unit length (+/- 6.0mm)
Note: Figure 5 is a general representation of a completely assembled in-line Flame Arrester.

Dimensions will vary dependant on size (nominal bore) and contract-specific requirements.

PROCEDURE
FOR END-OF-LINE UNITS
Figure 6 – Dimensional details of end-of-line units
 The ‘raised-face’ to flat-face dimensions (+/- 3.0mm)

 The overall unit height (+/- 5.0mm)
Note: Figure 6 is a general representation of a completely assembled end-of-line Flame

Arrester. Dimensions will vary dependant on size (nominal bore) and contract-specific
requirements.
Once all relevant visual and dimensions checks have been performed, a generic report should be
completed (if required as per contract-specific requirements). Refer to attachment 1 for a typical visual
& dimensional report template.
