Flame Arrestors

A flame arrestor is used to prevent the propogation & transmission of flame generated in the line from an unprotected side to the protected side of a flame arrestor but at the same time to allow the vapours to pass to the protected side. Flame Arrestors are installed on the vents of storage tanks and vessels or in process lines where flammable gases are being transferred.

We manufacture our Flame Arrestors according to IS:11006 & International Electro Technical Commission code IEC 60079-1:2007. Prototype tests according to mentioned codes for IIA, IIB & IIC gas groups have been conducted at Central Institute of Mining and Fuel Research (CIMFR), Dhanbad.

Our Arrestor Bank which is the heart of the flame arrestor consists of finely crimped metal ribbons to form a corrugated element. The corrugated gap i.e. the Maximum Experimental Safe Gap (MESG) depends upon the gas group (IIA, IIB, IIC) of the solvent / material. We maintain the MESG according to IEC 60079-1 for various gas groups like IIA, IIB & IIC.

There are two types of Flame Arrestors:
1) End of Line type - Used for above ground storage tanks 2) In-Line Type - Used for underground storage tanks and in continuous process lines.

We are manufacturing deflagaration type & detonation flame arrestors for diesel, solvents, resins, polymer, corrosive atmospheres which are used across Pharmaceutical, Paints, Speciality Chemicals, Petroleum, FMCG industries.

We also provide the customer with assistance in sizing and selection of Flame Arrestors according to API 2000 .
