Flame Arresters
Model No: KCPL-FA Series
Flame Arresters are designed to prevent flame propagation through pipelines, vent lines and storage-tank breathing systems handling flammable gases or vapours.
The arrester uses a crimped ribbon or bird-mesh element to absorb and dissipate flame energy, helping stop the flame front from travelling further through the system.
Available in inline, end-of-line and breather-valve-combined configurations, the product can be supplied in multiple sizes, body materials and element materials. Carbon-steel, stainless-steel and PTFE-coated body options are available, with SS304, SS316 and Hastelloy C-276 flame-arresting elements for different process requirements.

Inline Flame Arrester
KCPL-FA-IL
Installed within the pipeline to stop flame propagating from the exposed side to the protected side.
- Configuration
- Installed directly in the process pipeline
- Key Feature
- Prevents flame propagation through the pipeline
- Suitable For
- Fuel, solvent, hydrocarbon and combustible-gas lines
End-of-Line Flame Arrester
KCPL-FA-EL
Fitted at the end of the vent line to stop atmospheric flame propagation before it enters the storage system.
- Configuration
- Mounted at the open end of a vent or breather line
- Key Feature
- Helps prevent external flame from entering the vent system
- Suitable For
- Storage tank vents and atmospheric vent lines
Breather Valve cum Flame Arrester
KCPL-FA-BRVL
Combines pressure/vacuum relief with flame quenching in one unit: the breather valve regulates air flow while the arrester stops flame entering the tank.
- Configuration
- Pressure / vacuum breather valve combined with a flame-arresting section
- Key Feature
- Provides tank breathing together with flame-propagation protection
- Suitable For
- Storage tanks handling flammable or volatile liquids
