The case flammable gas has been compressed in some industrial products or in some manufacturing processes is on the increase. However, unexpected troubles such as an explosion accident could be held if oxidizer was accidentally entrained and mixed under high pressure condition. We have been studied the ignition and the building up to explosion of flammable gas in the high pressure vessel with consideration that risk assessment and the prevention are important. In that study, a safe and convenient technique to ignite gas in high pressure with a fuse explosion is required. The device that can explodes the fuse metal in high pressure gas successively was proposed and the performance was observed. Here metal balls were adopted as the fuse for the benefit of the recycle use of them and the exchangeability. Preliminary test results showed the almost same flashing performance with that of a exhaustible copper wire used to use so far. And the copper ball also performed as the ignitor of butane gas mixture. It is concluded that we might get an convenient and safe ignitor.
