End-of-Line Deflagration Flame Arresters

AVC

Gas Groups: B, C & D | IIB & IIC

The Protectoseal AVC Series End-of-Line Flame Arresters are designed to be installed at the end of a pipeline or exit vent from a vessel to provide protection against atmospheric deflagrations. Vapors are allowed to escape into the atmosphere and air can be drawn into the tank through the sintered gauze technology arrester element. If an ignition source outside the tank (unconfined deflagration) is encountered, the flame arrester provides protection for the tank’s vapor space.
