Flame arresters are safety devices attached to pipe or enclosure openings that are designed to allow flow but stop the spread of flame. A flame arrester works by absorbing the heat from a flame front and lowering the temperature of the burning gas/air mixture below the point at which it can automatically ignite. As a result, the flame is extinguished. Through channels (passages) incorporated into an element, the heat is absorbed.

| Flame arresters are safety devices attached to pipe or enclosure openings that are designed to allow flow but stop the spread of flame. A flame arrester works by absorbing the heat from a flame front and lowering the temperature of the burning gas/air mixture below the point at which it can automatically ignite. As a result, the flame is extinguished. Through channels (passages) incorporated into an element, the heat is absorbed. For a specific installation, these channels are picked and measured as the gas's MESG (maximum experimental safe gap). These routes can be symmetrical, like those in random packing, or asymmetrical, like those in crimped metal ribbon, wire mesh, or a sheet metal plate with punched holes. |
