COMBUSTION ARRESTER TEST SYSTEMS AND METHODS

Systems (10), kits (94), and methods (200) for testing a combustion arrester (20) are disclosed. Systems include an upstream chamber (14), a downstream chamber (44), and the combustion arrester between the upstream chamber and the downstream chamber. The upstream chamber includes an ignition port (18) configured to receive an ignition source (16). And, the upstream chamber defines a convergent duct (62) that converges toward the combustion arrester and terminates at the combustion arrester. The upstream chamber may include a hierarchical series of modular shell sections (60) that define the convergent duct. The downstream chamber may include a series of modular shell sections (70).
