NAO arrestors grids are built in stainless steel to exotics (Monel, Hastelloy, Inconel, Incoloy).
NAO arrestor housings can be built of carbon steel, stainless steel or exotics.  Sometime, the
arrestor can be built to fit between the customers pipe unions (threaded) or flanges.
See types and sizes -- wafer or between flange types.

NAO does NOT produce ALUMINUM ARRESTORS -- Low Melting Point -- FAILURENAO does NOT produce aluminum arrestors due to its low melting temperature
(housing or grid melts -- allows gas/flame to escape) and possible failure.

See Exxon tank explosion.

Unfortunately, thousands of flame and detonation arrestors have been,
      and continue to be, misapplied.
    See arrestor safety.
