Product introduction:

A flame arrester is a device installed on storage tanks and along transfer pipelines to reduce the temperature and divide flames into smaller streams in the event of ignition or fire. The use of this equipment is essential in pipelines and tanks containing flammable fluids.

Flame arresters extinguish or, in other words, stop a propagating flame by absorbing its heat. The heat of the flame is absorbed within a metallic mesh element inside the device. The overall dimensions and passage sizes of this element are determined based on factors such as gas composition, temperature, and the allowable pressure drop across the system.

Applications include:

The function of flame arresters in restricting flames and preventing explosive fire propagation has made them essential safety devices with a wide range of applications, including:

  • Use in storage tank vents
  • Natural gas and fuel supply and transfer lines
  • Industrial burner exhaust stacks
  • Flammable vapor recovery systems

In addition to preventing flame propagation, flame arresters also prevent the entry of particles and insects into storage tanks.

The flame arrester’s metallic mesh element is designed to effectively withstand external impacts and resist deformation when exposed to propagating flames or explosion pressure waves.
