Flashback Arrestor for Industrial Oxygen Systems — line protection for pipework and manifolds
A Flashback Arrestor for industrial oxygen systems protects fixed pipelines, manifolds and consumer points rather than a single torch. REAL GAZ supplies line-mounted units with sintered metal flame arresters and non-return valves sized for the flow of your plant.
Selection starts from the system's operating pressure, flow in cubic metres per hour and pipe connection size.
Selection starts from the system's operating pressure, flow in cubic metres per hour and pipe connection size.
Products are specified against EN ISO 5175-1 and ISO 9539 for materials, with pipeline practice referenced to EN ISO 7291 and CGA G-4.4, suitable for industrial and production-line installations.
Industrial systems differ from portable sets because pipe volumes are large and several consumers share one supply. A flame that enters a branch can travel rapidly along the pipe if no arrestor is installed, so we recommend arrestors at the point where the line enters each building, at every branch and at the final consumer. Flow rating is important: an undersized element creates a pressure drop and may overheat. Please send us the pipe diameter, maximum flow and operating pressure, and we will propose a suitable arrangement. Drawings, spare element kits and inspection checklists can be included with the delivery.
🏭 Where Industrial Oxygen Arrestors Are Used
- ⚙️ Steel mill oxygen lances — branch-line protection where oxygen is distributed to several furnace stations;
- 🔬 Glass and ceramic production — oxygen-enriched burners are isolated from the main ring main;
- 🏭 Chemical processing — separate arrestors protect each reactor feed in oxidation processes;
- 🚀 Cutting tables and robots — point-of-use units shield automated plasma and oxy-fuel gantries.
💡 Why Choose REAL GAZ
- ✅ Pipeline-rated bodies — brass or stainless steel housings sized for continuous industrial flow;
- 🧪 Sintered element options — different pore sizes balance flame quenching against pressure drop;
- 🎯 System-level advice — our team reviews drawings to place arrestors at branch and consumer points;
- 🔒 Documented traceability — each unit carries batch marking for audit and insurance records;
- 📄 Certificate of Analysis (CoA) — supplied with every order.
🔬 Quality Control & Safety
- oxygen-service cleaning to documented limits;
- hydrostatic and pneumatic strength tests;
- flame-arrester element integrity checks;
- gas-tightness verification before dispatch.
Cylinders and gas equipment comply with ADR / UN transport rules and relevant EN/ISO standards.
📦 Installation Advice
- install in the flow direction marked on the body and support heavy units on pipe brackets;
- commission slowly, opening valves gradually to avoid adiabatic heating;
- schedule periodic inspection of the element and non-return valve;
- never repair or modify a unit on site; return it for assessment.
