GAS SAFETY DEVICES AND HOSE COUPLINGS

IBEDA/Messer provides a wide range of gas safety devices (flashback arrestors with flame arrestors) according to EN 730 or ISO 5175, and gas quick-action couplings (hose couplings) according to EN 561 or ISO 7289. All flashback arrestors and hose couplings are design-type tested and are subject to production monitoring by neutral testing institutes, such as BAM and UL. As worldwide leading manufacturer we supply gas safety devices and gas hose couplings with worldwide standardized thread and hose connections

The IBEDA product range on gas safety devices (flashback arrestors with flame arrestor) according to EN730 or ISO5175 are used in different various industries. The flashback arrestors can be used on single cylinders (regulator mounted), on torches as well as on cutting machines. Furthermore, it is the ideal protection at cylinder regulators, distribution lines, tapping pointsand gas distributors (board connection block). The flashback arrestors (FBA) offer a gas non-return valve (check valve), a flame arrestor (flame barrier) as well as a thermal cut-off valve. The IBEDA flashback arrestor (FBA) is suitable for all standard gas types. These arrestors with multiple safety functions provide optimal protection against flashback, gas return and additionally against burnback if the safety device type includes a thermal cut-off valve.

The IBEDA product range on gas hose couplings (quick-action couplings) has proved itself over many years. The gas hose couplings allow a quick and easy leakage-free connection without tools. The gas hose couplings are available in different various versions. They are compatible according to the international standards EN 561 and ISO 7289. IBEDA quick-action couplings are also available with larger diameters for applications requiring higher flow rates. Design-type tests as well as voluntary special tests by the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) prove the excellent and outstanding quality of our standardized gas hose couplings.

IBEDA gas safety devices are manufactured to international standards (EN 730-1 / ISO 5175) and regulations (TRAC207 - flashback arrestors) and are independently certified by leading institutes like the German BAM and the American UL. Both BAM and UL audit the IBEDA production plant and the actual production processes. All flashback arrestors are 100% tested according to EN 730-1 / ISO 5175. The function of the flame arrestor, the gas non-return valve and the leak-tightness is tested. The safety devices are suitable for most technical gases (fuel gases) such as Acetylene, Hydrogen, Methane, Propane, Propylene and Butane as well as Oxygen and compressed air.
