Flame and Detonation Arresters
Flame Control Products for Process Safety
At Cross Company, we understand that in process manufacturing applications, the risk of ignition within piping systems and vessels is a top safety concern. Whether you’re handling volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in vapor recovery systems, directing flow to flare stacks, or managing off-gassing in storage tanks, operational integrity depends on reliable flame propagation prevention.
Cross Company’s Process Solutions group partners with plant managers, maintenance, process engineers, and many others to implement robust flame control strategies. We know the nuances of flow capacity, pressure drop, and the specific dynamics of deflagration versus detonation. And we work directly with your team to specify and supply high-performance flame arresters, detonation arresters, and combination units from industry-leading manufacturers.

Flame Arresters
A flame arrester provides gas/vapor flow from the protected side to the unprotected side under normal operating conditions. If an ignition on the unprotected side should occur, the flame front will be quenched during subsonic flow conditions.
Types of flame arresters:
- In-line installations
- In-line vertical flame arresters
- In-line horizontal flame arresters
- End-of-line installations
- End-of-line horizontal flame arresters
Cross Company is proud to represent the Groth product line of flame arresters.
Detonation Arresters
Turbulent flow and compressive heat effects can cause a propagating flame to transition to unstable detonation, resulting in extremely high velocity and pressure. It is very difficult to say with any degree of confidence when and where the transition to unstable detonation will occur. Installed equipment should be able to provide the maximum protection under the most dangerous situations.
Types of detonation flame arresters:
Detonation Flame Arrester
Detonation Flame Arrester – Group C & D Gases
Detonation Flame Arrester – Group D Gases
