A flame arrester is a safety device whose principal purpose is to prevent a flame entering or leaving a pipe or vessel or to prevent it travelling further down a pipe. In many cases it is used in conjunction with other components to create a safety system. A flame arrester uses an element with small apertures which allows gas or vapour to pass. If the apertures are smaller than the maximum experimental safe gap (MESG) for the gas or vapour then a flame cannot pass through the arrester, and is subsequently contained or extinguished.A flame arrester functions by forcing a flame front through channels too narrow to permit the continuance of a flame. These passages can be regular, like wire mesh or a sheet metal plate with punched holes, or irregular, such as those in random packing. There are different types of flame arrester, each of which is designed to handle certain conditions. It is essential that the flame arrester is correctly specified to ensure that a flame is extinguished (or properly contained) and that an explosion is prevented from propagating through the equipment. The first step in specifying a flame arrester is to determine the location of the potential ignition source.

1. DEFLAGRATION ARRESTORS The deflagration arrestors are generally used with group I gases. These gases do not have the detonation characteristics. 2. DETONATION ARRESTER If the gases belong to II A, IIB and IIC group with high detonation characteristics and flame front traveling at speed exceeding Mach 1 (supersonic) then the detonation arresters are advised. Detonation arrestors are also advised in pipelines with high working temperature of the medium. 3. IN LINE FLAME ARRESTOR These flame arrestors are used in the pipe line and manufactured for flame deflagration and Detonation. 4. END OF LINE FLAME ARRESTORS They are normally used on the storage tanks or for venting the combustible gases into the atmosphere. The protection of these flame arrestors is generally for Deflagration only. These flame arrestors are used in the pipe line and manufactured for flame deflagration and Detonation.

Design as per International standards Models for In line and End of line protection High flow areas. Quick quenching of flame, Flexibility in material selection Customized design Easy maintenance Economically period
