Porous Stainless Steel flame arrestors are commonly used in a wide range of industries to prevent the propagation of flames and explosions in systems that handle flammable gases or fluids. They are highly effective at trapping or extinguishing flames, while allowing for efficient flow of gases or fluids. Stainless steel is a popular material due to its high strength, corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand high temperatures.
Porous Stainless Steel filter element is the key component of the flame arrestor and is designed to trap or extinguish any flames that may be present in a gas or vapor stream, while allowing gases or fluids to flow through.
When a gas or vapor mixture passes through the porous filter, any flames present will be cooled and extinguished due to the heat dissipation and surface area of the filter. This prevents the flame from propagating further down the pipeline or vessel and causing a fire or explosion. The porous filter also provides a large surface area for vapor or gas to pass through, allowing for efficient flow and minimal pressure drop.
