A flame arrester is a device used to prevent flames in combustible gas pipelines from spreading to the backup protection system. Flammable gases, such as oxygen, must be present in this pipeline; the mixture burns when it reaches its flash point. The principle of a flame arrester is to utilize the heat absorption and dissipation capabilities of the corrugated metal flame arrester disc, thereby keeping the temperature of the gas on the side that needs protection below its flash point. So, what kind of pipelines the question applies to is not the most important thing; what matters is which locations need to be protected, and installations should be made upstream of those protected locations. However, flame arrestors can be classified into flame-retardant types and blast-suppression types based on the speed and capacity of flame propagation, and the choice depends on the actual circumstances. If you really want to know more, you can search for relevant information online or visit the Amal website; there is quite a lot of information available there.
