Technical Datasheet -- Crimped Ribbon Flame Arresters for Vent and Pipeline Protection
End-of-line and in-line flame arresters for preventing flame propagation in tank vents, process pipelines, and atmospheric discharges. Crimped ribbon or parallel plate SS316 element quenches deflagration and detonation flame fronts by heat dissipation in narrow channels. Housing in carbon steel epoxy-coated or SS316. Element gap matched to gas group (IIB3, IIB, IIA). ATEX / IECEx compliant for Zone 0, 1, 2. API 2020 / EN ISO 16852 compliant. Removable element for inspection and replacement.

The Flame Arrester -- End-of-Line & In-Line API 2020 is designed, manufactured, and tested in accordance with applicable API / ASME / BS / ISO international standards. Compliance documentation and Material Test Certificates (EN 10204 3.1) are provided with every order.
Standard construction is carbon steel, stainless steel (CF8 / CF8M), and special alloy grades. Alternative and upgraded grades -- Duplex, Super Duplex, Inconel, Monel, Hastelloy, and NACE MR0175 trims for sour service -- are available on request.
It is offered in a range of sizes as per the technical specification with standard ANSI / ASME pressure classes (PN ratings on request). End connections include flanged (RF / RTJ), butt-weld, socket-weld, and screwed ends as per specification.
Yes. Supreme Valves India is an established exporter of industrial valves to Saudi Arabia (KSA), the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, and across the Gulf. We provide sea-worthy export packing, EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 certification, certificate of origin, and support for SABER / SASO conformity on KSA shipments.
Every valve undergoes hydrostatic shell and seat testing per API 598 / ISO 5208. Documentation includes EN 10204 3.1 MTC (3.2 on request), NDT reports, and fire-safe (API 607) or NACE MR0175 certification where applicable. Third-party inspection by TÜV, SGS, Bureau Veritas, or Lloyd's Register can be arranged.
Order quantities are flexible -- from single units for stocked items to bulk volumes for project requirements. Lead time depends on size, material, and quantity; please contact our team with your specification for a firm delivery schedule and quotation.
