SAE J1928
Devices Providing Backfire Flame Control for Gasoline Engines in Marine Applications
Developed by committee: Marine Technical Steering Committee
Annotation and contents
Source of this annotation and contents: SAE.
This SAE Standard covers the minimum requirements for design, construction, and testing of devices to prevent the propagation of backfire flame from within the gasoline engine to the surrounding atmosphere. The purpose of this document is to recommend a procedure for testing and establishing acceptable flame arresting characteristics of the devices.
Rationale:
Recent testing shows that family acceptance should not be allowed and that each combination of throttle body and flame arrestor must be independently qualified. The language in the standard needs to reflect these findings
