Flame Arresters Importer in Pakistan

🔥 Flame Arresters Importer in Pakistan

Flame arresters are critical safety devices designed to prevent flame transmission through flammable gas or vapour mixtures. They are widely used in oil & gas, chemical, petrochemical, storage, and process industries to protect tanks, pipelines, and equipment from fire and explosion hazards.

✅ Key Features

Corrosion-resistant materials (SS304, SS316, Aluminum, etc.)
Certified to API, ISO, ATEX, or EN standards
Suitable for horizontal or vertical installation
Low pressure drop, high flame quenching efficiency

🔧 Types of Flame Arresters

1. End-of-Line Flame Arrester

Purpose: Installed at the end of a vent pipe or nozzle to prevent flame propagation into the tank or vessel.

Common Applications: Storage tank vents, safety relief vents, vacuum breakers
Key Benefit: Protects against atmospheric ignition sources (lightning, static discharge)
Standard Compliance: API 2000, EN ISO 16852

2. In-Line Flame Arrester

Purpose: Installed between piping systems to stop flame travelling in either direction within flammable gas pipelines.

Common Applications: Vapor recovery systems, flare systems, fuel gas lines
Key Benefit: Bidirectional flame protection during normal and explosive conditions
Types: Deflagration type and detonation type

3. Detonation Flame Arrester

Purpose: Specifically designed to withstand high-speed flame fronts (detonations) in long pipelines.

Common Applications: Gas transmission lines, marine loading arms, long piping networks
Key Benefit: Handles both deflagration and detonation, withstanding high pressures and temperatures
Construction: Heavy-duty casing with spiral-wound flame elements

4. Deflagration Flame Arrester

Purpose: Designed for low-speed flame fronts (subsonic combustion), typically in short piping runs.

Common Applications: Tank vent systems, vapor piping close to ignition source
Key Benefit: Compact and effective for short-distance protection
Limitations: Not suitable for detonation conditions

5. Vent Line / Breather Flame Arrester

Purpose: Combines the function of a vent (breather valve) with integrated flame protection.

Common Applications: Atmospheric storage tanks containing flammable liquids
Key Benefit: Prevents tank rupture due to overpressure while stopping flame ingress

6. Explosion-Proof / Combination Units

Purpose: Flame arresters combined with pressure-vacuum relief valves or detonation-proof housings.

Common Applications: Hazardous environments where overpressure, vacuum, and flame protection are needed
Key Benefit: Compact, multi-functional safety solution
