Flashback Arrestors

Flashback Arrestors

A flashback arrestor or flame arrestor is a device most commonly used in oxy-fuel welding and cutting to stop the flame from burning back up into the equipment and causing damage or explosions.

The two main types of flashback arrestors are dry and wet and each one has its own advantages and disadvantages. Most oxy-fuel flashback arrestors are the dry type.
