Flame Arresters Element
Flame arresters Element manufactured by Saifilter are also known as Sintered Metal Flame Arrestor. It is made of durable and heat-resistant materials to ensure longevity and effectively prevent the spread of flames and explosions.
The flame arrester elements are cylindrical in shape and can be easily installed and assembled into different types of equipment. Due to its compact size, it can be easily integrated into existing systems. Sintered Flame Arrester Element effectively prevents backfire or flame spread, providing a reliable barrier to protect equipment and personnel from potential fires and explosions.
Saifilter provides customized Flame arresters for different customer needs that meet their specific requirements.This porous void structure creates a matrix of uniform openings that are carefully constructed to extinguish the flame by absorbing its heat. This provides a fire-extinguishing barrier to the igniting vapor mixture.

High Quality Flow Restrictors
Sintered Flame Arrestor Element
Features and Benefits
- Excellent flame-arresting properties due to tortuous path within the sintered porous materials.
- Optimum flow of gases. The controlled pore size and uniform density ensures an even flow of gas to the sensor device, and gives excellent pressure restriction.
- Superior mechanical strength including excellent joint strength and seal integrity.
- Media maintains integrity at high temperatures and is non Shedding.
- Sintered metal media provides cost effective solutions for high volume devices, especially for applications that require the prevention of a flame front in the event that an intense explosion occurs.
- Porous sintered metal media can also be mesh type
Mesh media can be easily combined with hardware to create unique components.

A Flame Arrester Element is a safety device designed to prevent the propagation of flames and explosions in industrial settings. It works by extinguishing flames and dissipating heat, protecting equipment and personnel from potential hazards.
Flame Arrester Elements find applications in various industries, including chemical processing, petroleum refining, and storage of flammable liquids and gases. They are essential in locations where fire and explosion risks exist.
Flame Arrester Elements consist of a porous metal or other flame-resistant material. They allow the passage of gases or vapors while disrupting the flame front, preventing it from spreading. The element cools and extinguishes the flame through heat dissipation.
Flame Arrester Elements are crucial for safety because they protect against catastrophic events like fires and explosions. By stopping flames from advancing into flammable or explosive environments, they safeguard equipment, infrastructure, and personnel.
Yes, regular maintenance is essential to ensure the continued effectiveness of Flame Arrester Elements. Inspection, cleaning, and replacement of damaged elements should be performed according to manufacturer recommendations and industry standards to maintain safety levels.
