What is a flame arrestor?
A flame arrestor is a critical safety device designed to prevent flames from propagating in systems handling flammable gases, vapors, or liquids. By extinguishing flames and containing combustion, flame arrestors safeguard equipment, facilities, and personnel from potential explosions and fire hazards. They are essential in maintaining safety and compliance in industries where combustible atmospheres are present.
FUNCTION AND PURPOSE:
Flame arrestors function by using a specially engineered flame element, typically made of a metal mesh or plates, that dissipates the heat of the flame front. As the flame passes through the element, it cools to a temperature below the combustion point, effectively extinguishing it. This mechanism ensures that flames cannot propagate beyond the arrestor, even in highly flammable environments. The robust design of Cashco's flame arrestors provides reliable and consistent performance under challenging conditions.
OPERATION:
Cashco flame arrestors are used across a variety of industries to enhance safety and compliance. In the oil and gas sector, they prevent flame propagation in vent systems and storage tanks. In chemical processing facilities, they protect against explosions in pipelines and process vents. Flame arrestors are also essential in applications such as wastewater treatment plants, refineries, and any environment where explosive atmospheres may occur.

TYPES AND VARIETIES:
Flame arrestors come in several designs to meet the needs of diverse applications. Inline flame arrestors are used in pipelines to stop flames traveling within a flow stream, while end-of-line flame arrestors protect vent openings from external ignition sources. Additionally, bi-directional flame arrestors provide protection for systems with flow in multiple directions. Cashco offers a variety of flame arrestors tailored to industry-specific requirements, ensuring safety and compliance in every application.
