Flame Arrester Breather Valve
Flame Arrestor Breather Valve combines the functions of a flame arrester and a breather valve. It is typically used in storage tanks containing flammable liquids to ensure safe venting while preventing flame propagation.
Functions
. Flame Arrester: Prevents flames from entering the tank by quenching the flame front in a series of narrow passages.
. Breather Valve: Regulates pressure by allowing air to enter or exit the tank to maintain a safe pressure level.
