Top Flame Arrestor Manufacturer Flame Arrestor

       FLA-V18 series are passive, mechanical devices installed on a storage tank nozzle or in a vapor piping system.  Its primary function is to allow gases to pass through during normal operating conditions, but stop a flame in order to prevent an explosion or fire propagation under emergency situations.  Stopping the flame protects the storage tank, or the equipment located in the piping system, from the catastrophic damage that may result from an uncontrolled ignition.  For industries that handle, store, transfer and collect hazardous liquids, a single unchecked flame can cause extensive damage to one asset or many or leads to the risk of being unsafe zone.

       A variety of arrester designs are available.  The selection of the appropriate arrester depends on the flammable properties of the vapor/air mixture, operating conditions as well as how and where the arrester is installed with respect to the potential ignition source.
