Flashback Arrestors

Flashback Arrestors are designed to eliminate explosion or fire caused by flashback. These are fits perfectly on regular outlet and fitted with a large capacity filter that allows unrestricted fitted flow gas, flow during normal operations. In view of the fact that flashback can occur in any of the cylinders, ESAB Protex comes in two versions Protex- RO (for oxygen)and Protex- RA (for acetylene).

• Incorporates a high capacity flame-arresting element that puts out flame in case of flashback
• A non-return valve is fitted next to filter. It seals the passage and avoids reverse gas flow and opens again when the pressure of reverse gas-flow is reduced
• A thermosetting cut-off valve cuts off gas before reaching ignition temperature to eliminate incidence of fire
• There is also a "Shock-Wave" activated cut-off to stop gas flow through arrestor. The valve closes when pressure drops to 1.5 bar. Hence, even during powerful flashback, explosions in hose are eliminated
• The safety-reset button is "fail safe" and cannot be made operative by tying down
