A flame arrester is a safety device used to prevent the spread of flames of flammable gases and flammable liquid vapors.Generally installed in a pipeline conveying combustible gas, or on a ventilated tank, a device that prevents the spread of flames (deflagration or detonation) from passing through, consists of a flame arrester core, a flame arrester shell and accessories.
Flame arrestors are also commonly used in pipelines that transport flammable gases.If the flammable gas is ignited, the gas flame will spread to the entire pipe network.In order to prevent this danger from happening, flame arresters must also be used.Flame arrester can also be used on pipelines with open flame equipment to prevent tempering accidents.But it cannot prevent the open flame combustion of flammable gases and liquids that are exposed to combustion.
