Flame arresters

Maximum safety with minimal pressure loss

Oberland Mangold flame arresters are made from high-alloy, corrosion-resistant metal foil strips and, thanks to a precisely adjusted gap width, offer maximum safety with minimal pressure loss. They are used in areas where explosive gas-air mixtures occur, such as marine petrol engines, combined heat and power plants and tank installations. In hydrogen applications, too, our flame arresters offer the highest safety through specially adapted gap widths.
