Spark Arrestor Pad – Compressed Knitted Wire Mesh for Fire Protection
The spark arrestor pad is a critical safety protection component designed to prevent sparks and high-temperature particles from entering the atmosphere or downstream equipment, thereby mitigating the risk of fire and explosion. Made from premium woven and compressed metal wire mesh, it efficiently captures sparks and dissipates heat rapidly to ensure safe equipment operation. It is widely used in environments with flammable and explosive conditions.

Working Principle
When high-temperature sparks or incandescent particles pass through the multi-layered structure of the metallic wire mesh, their speed and temperature quickly decrease due to collisions, friction, and heat conduction. During this process, the sparks are cooled and dissipate heat, ultimately being effectively extinguished to prevent further propagation. Meanwhile, gases can flow smoothly through the mesh, with minimal pressure drop.
