What is the difference between a breather valve and a flame arrestor?

Breather valves and flame arrestors are essential safety devices for tanks, pipelines, and process systems that handle flammable gases or volatile liquids. While a breather valve regulates tank pressure, a flame arrestor stops flame propagation to prevent explosions. This guide explains their differences, functions, applications, and why ZhenChao provides trusted solutions for safe and compliant operations.
