Detonation arrestors are safety devices designed to prevent the propagation of explosive pressure waves in gas pipelines. They work by dissipating the energy from a detonation, effectively stopping it from traveling further along the pipeline. This helps protect equipment and personnel from potential explosions. These devices are commonly used in industries that handle flammable gases, such as oil and gas and chemical manufacturing. By incorporating detonation arrestors into their systems, companies can enhance safety and reduce the risk of catastrophic failures caused by gas detonations.
