Sintered Metal Fame Arrestors Manufacturer for the Storage and Transportation of Inflammable Liquids, Vapours and Gases

Flame Arrestors are safety devices that allow the flow of combustible gases while preventing ignition. The Flame Arrestorprevents the flame from transferring to a different area of a device by cooling or quenching a flame front or dampening combustion wave. it is designed to absorb and dissipate the heat of a flame for specific operating and flow conditions. Porous metal flame arrestors are used in many flight and marine applications. For flight, it’s been integrated into electronics boxes for both commercial and military aircraft, serving a function of both a breather plug (allowing the pressure to equalize between the box and atmosphere) and protecting against flames in the event of an unwanted explosion.

Benefits of Porous Metal:

HENGKO manufactures filter elements in a broad range of materials, sizes, and fittings so they can be easily specified with the characteristics and configurations customers require. We can incorporate custom features or create completely original filter element designs for specialized needs. Our filter elements also come in a variety of different alloys, each with its own special benefits and application purposes. They are a popular choice for many industrial filtration applications due to their heat, corrosion, and physical wear resistance.

The flow restrictors are available in a wide range of porosity to ensure the perfect flow rate for the desired applications. A porous metal flow restrictor has a porous surface that is 500 times as large as that of similar passages without porous material. The advantage is that a laminar flow will be created with a minimal disturbance in speed, pressure, and temperature as compared to an orifice.
