New! Oxy-Fuel Gas Safety Demos
SuperFlash flashback arrestors are UL and BAM approved, 100% tested for reverse flow, leak integrity and flashback protection with actual flashbacks, and contain a built-in 100 micron inlet filter, reverse flow check valve, 3-5 micron flame barrier, and a thermal shutoff valve in our point of supply models. So you can be sure that not only are you getting enough gas flow, you are getting the highest quality safety device available. SuperFlash flashback arrestors are the worldwide leader in quality and functionality. DO ALL FLAME BARRIERS PROVIDE THE SAME LEVEL OF PROTECTION? No, all flame barriers are not created equal. Flame barriers can be made of different materials and have different micron openings. The flame barrier needs to be made a material that will extinguish fires and have the right size openings to allow gas through—but not a flashback. If the micron openings are too large or the material is not correct—the flame barrier will not stop a flashback. SuperFlash flashback arrestors are made of high quality 3-5 micron stainless steel, and are 100% tested so they stop flashbacks every time. 100% Flashback Testing ensures our products work in real world situations. 3-5 micron stainless steel flame barriers stop flashbacks. Other brands have larger microns and less effective materials, that might not stop flashbacks every time. 100 micron inlet filter keeps contaminants out and increases service life by as much as

Choosing The Proper Flashback Arrestor For Your Application Goes into detail about the following topics: How accidents occure How flashback arrestors work The different types of flashback arrestors and where they should be placed on equipment (torch and regulators) Calculations of flows and pressures 3. How To Prevent Welding And Compressed Gas Accidents Different regulations from OSHA and CGA are discussed to include the training requirements and equipment maintenance to meet these regulations. We also review the most common accidents with welding and gas safety. For more information, and a list of class dates and times please give us a
Flashback Arrestors vs. Check Valves: Do you REALLY know the difference?
Flashback arrestors are designed to stop a flashback AND prevent reverse flow. Check valves only prevent the reverse flow of gases, and CANNOT stop a flashback
