Flame Arresters are passive devices used as protection
against explosions by preventing the transmission of
flame and explosion transfer to plant, process and
machinery.
Whenever there is a possibility of a gas air mixture
being exposed to an ignition source which could be,
naked flames, lightening, faulty electrical equipment
even the spark caused from tools or equipment coming
into contact with local plant can cause an ignition.
The development and construction of our Flame Arresters
is based on the proven and reliable principle of the
"Flame Extinguishing Gap". This principle is enacted by
dry flame barriers which are made of metal foil cells
(stainless steel as standard) with a defined gap width,
in various configurations, depending on the process
requirements.
Test certificates are available for all products in
addition to prototype test certification. The compliance
of our Flame Arresters with European Standard 94/9/EC
ATEX 95 is Certified by EC prototype test certificates,
issued by an approved notified body e.g. BAM, IBExU. As
an approved manufacturer of pressure containing
devices.
3B Controls Ltd supply Flame Arresters to cover all
applications from Group 1 methane applications to group
IIC Hydrogen, because of the precise element
manufacturing process accurate M.E.S.G dimensions can be
guaranteed, which in turn guarantees total plant safety
when using our Flame Arresters.
