Explosion Test Site

PROTEGO® operates the world’s largest research center for the experimental study of Flame Arresters. We have been testing all types of flame arresters for over 60 years.

World’s largest research center

Our test facility has the necessary test gases and equipment, as well as experienced technical staff for the safe conduction of both explosion and fire tests. Customers benefit from our experience and expertise.

PROTEGO® has successfully tested and received independent third party approvals in conformity with both European and international standards for all devices we sell. We support our customers by developing and optimizing devices for protection against overpressure Surpression Overpressure refers to an increase in pressure in a system or vessel above the normal operating pressure. and vacuum Dépression Vacuum is the pressure in an enclosed space that is lower than the ambient pressure. , deflagrations, detonations, and fire.

We would like to welcome you at our test facility to observe our work.
