Flame Arrestor
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.

What are flame arrestors?
Flame arrestors, a critical component in industrial safety, are devices designed to prevent the propagation of flames and explosions in hazardous environments. Mott’s flame arrestors, crafted from advanced porous metal technology, act as indispensable safeguards in applications where the presence of flammable gases or vapors poses a threat. By strategically placing Mott’s flame arrestors in equipment such as gas detectors, welding torches, and storage tanks, you can effectively mitigate the risk of catastrophic incidents. These flame arrestors ensure that any potential flame front is quelled, maintaining a secure work environment and adhering to industry standards for safety and compliance.
FAQs: Flame Arrestors
Q: What are flame arrestors?
A: Flame arrestors are safety devices designed to prevent the propagation of flames and explosions in environments where flammable gases or vapors are present. They are crucial for safeguarding industrial processes and preventing potentially catastrophic incidents.
Q: How do Mott flame arrestors work?
A: Mott flame arrestors utilize porous metal technology to interrupt and extinguish flame fronts. The porous structure allows gas to pass through while simultaneously cooling and extinguishing any flames, making them a highly effective safety measure.
Q: Where are Mott flame arrestors used?
A: Mott flame arrestors find applications in various industries, including petrochemical, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing. They are commonly employed in equipment such as gas detectors, storage tanks, and welding torches.
Q: Why choose Mott flame arrestors?
A: Mott flame arrestors are preferred due to their advanced porous metal technology, which ensures reliable flame quenching. They also offer a wide range of alloys for chemical compatibility and are compliant with industry standards like TEX, FM, UL, and CSA, making them a trusted choice for safety and compliance.
