Our highly-engineered custom sintered porous metal assemblies are a popular choice for flame arrestors because they allow precise gas flow control while providing a mechanically sound media to quench the flame front. Sintered porous metal flame arrestors offer a cost-effective solution for high-volume devices, especially for applications that require the prevention of a flame during an intense explosion event. Our flame arrestor solutions are compliant with ATEX, FM, UL, CSA, and other standards and directives.
