Ex-version
Explosion-proof cable glands, also known as Ex glands, are specifically designed to safely pass cables through explosion-hazardous environments. They prevent sparks, heat, or ignition sources from escaping the equipment into the surrounding area, minimizing the risk of explosions. These glands are essential in industries such as oil and gas, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and mining, where explosive atmospheres may occur.
Certifications and standards
Our explosion-proof cable glands comply with strict international standards and certifications, including various ATEX and IECEx certifications. These certifications ensure that the glands can be safely used in explosive zones. Additionally, they meet protection class IP66.
Materials and quality
Our explosion-proof cable glands are made from Polyamide PA6. This material offers excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability, which are essential for applications in harsh industrial environments. The glands are designed to ensure long-term reliability and safety.
Application areas
Explosion-proof cable glands are used in various industries where there is a risk of explosion. They are used in the oil and gas industry, chemical and petrochemical plants, pharmaceutical production, mining, shipping, and power plants. In these sectors, they are crucial for safely passing cables to equipment such as motors, control cabinets, lighting, and instruments, preventing the risk of ignition in explosive atmospheres.
Safety benefits
Using explosion-proof cable glands provides significant safety benefits. They prevent ignition sources from escaping the equipment into the environment, minimizing the risk of explosions. Additionally, they contribute to compliance with legal safety standards and regulations, such as ATEX and IECEx, which are essential for protecting personnel, the environment, and property in explosion-hazardous areas.
