Crimped Ribbon Flame Arrester Element is used for stopping flame propagation in vent and process lines by quenching it in narrow channels formed between spiral-wound crimped and flat metal ribbons. ISO 16852 is the reference cited for it on drawings, datasheets and purchase orders.
What ISO 16852 Means for Crimped Ribbon Flame Arrester Element
The dimensions in the table below are supplied to suit ISO 16852. Where the standard sets requirements for the finished appliance, device or system, compliance testing of that assembly stays with its manufacturer; we supply the metal mesh part to the drawing and can provide material certificates and dimensional reports with the shipment.
Crimped Ribbon Flame Arrester Element Dimensions
| Size | Outer diameter (mm) | Element thickness (mm) | Crimp height (mm) | Gas group | Material |

| DN 50 | 100 | 30 | 0.5 | IIA / IIB3 | SS316L |
| DN 100 | 180 | 40 | 0.4 | IIB3 | SS316L |
| DN 150 | 250 | 50 | 0.3 | IIC | SS316L |
Specifying Crimped Ribbon Flame Arrester Element Beyond the Standard
- Gas group: Choose crimp height for IIA, IIB or IIC gases — smaller gaps for more reactive gases.
- Element depth: Deeper elements for longer burn and detonation duties.
- Certification: Must match the tested housing per ISO 16852.
When Crimped Ribbon Flame Arrester Element Is Not the Right Choice
Not a pressure-vacuum relief valve.
