FLAME SCREENS / ARRESTERS

Flame Arrester Type FA:

The Flame Arrester Type FA is engineered specifically for high-volume systems like mast risers. These systems typically involve larger quantities of gas or vapor flow. When placed at the end of the line, the Type FA Flame Arrester strategically prevents flame propagation back into the system. In case of a flame flashback, this arrester disrupts the flame front, extinguishing it and preventing it from reaching potentially explosive or hazardous areas within the system. Consequently, this essential safety component ensures the protection of personnel, equipment, and the overall integrity of high-volume gas or vapor systems. Moreover, it enhances safety by actively preventing potential hazards and maintaining system integrity.

Flame Arrester Type FAV:

In contrast, the Flame Arrester Type FAV is designed for end-of-line installation in systems with medium and low volume applications. These systems typically involve smaller quantities of gas or vapor flow. Unlike the Type FA, the Type FAV Flame Arrester serves the same fundamental purpose, preventing flame transmission back into the system. Its application is particularly relevant in scenarios with moderate to low flow rates. By incorporating the Type FAV Flame Arrester, the safety of these systems is enhanced, thereby reducing the risk of potential explosions or accidents associated with flame propagation.
