See How A Flame Arrestor Works!
Once a detonation occurs in a piping system, it must always go through an overdriven (or “unstable”) condition before it becomes stable. The state of detonation is often unpredictable and therefore detonation flame arrestors designed for unstable detonations are safest to specify. The arrestor absorbs heat from the flame as it travels through narrow passages with walls of metal (called a Flame Cell Element). Use the button below to see an arrestor in action.
