Abstract
At least some embodiments a flare includes a gasket sized and shaped to prevent gas-leakage at the gas slot when pressure of gas entering the flare is below a designed minimum opening pressure that causes the flare bowl to move away from the tip housing. At least some embodiments of a flare includes a diaphragm spring coupled with the flare bowl to assist in movement of the flare bowl with respect to the tip housing to vary an opening dimension of a gas-exit slot defined by the flare bowl and the tip housing.
