Overview
Key Features of Flame Arresters:
Mesh or Element Design: Flame arresters typically consist of a series of metal mesh or corrugated sheets that create narrow passageways. These passageways allow gases or vapors to pass through while quenching flames.
Material: Flame arresters are usually made of corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel, which can withstand high temperatures and aggressive chemicals.
Temperature and Pressure Ratings: They are designed to operate within specific temperature and pressure ranges, depending on the application and the type of flammable material they are protecting against.
End Connections: Flame arresters come with various end connections (flanged, threaded, welded) to integrate seamlessly into different piping systems.
Maintenance and Inspection: Many flame arresters are designed for easy disassembly to facilitate regular inspection and cleaning, ensuring their effectiveness over time.
