Abstract
Safety device ( ) for a high-pressure fluid regulator for preventing risk of combustion caused by high velocity particles entering the regulator includes an inlet body ( ) having a passage in fluid communication to receive the fluid prior to supply to the regulator, to which the device is connected. A filter ( ) within the inlet body filters fluid passing through the passage. A fluid disrupter ( ) is disposed between the filter and the regulator so that high velocity particles are kept by the filter and disrupter from entering the regulator.
