Globally Approved, Explosive Atmosphere RapidEx Barrier Cable Gland
• RapidEx liquid pour sealing system
– Enhances reliability, reduces risk
– Reduces man hours
– Reduces cost
• Metal-to-metal armour clamping
• Direct & remote installation
• Integral protected deluge seal
• Controlled outer ‘load retention’ seal
• Unique OSTG prevents overtightening
• -60°C to +85°C
• Globally marked, IECEx, ATEX & cCSAus
• Superior EMC tested
• Once any cable inner sheath/bedding has been removed, the RapidEx liquid resin barrier seals directly around the internal cable cores, completely eliminating any risk of coldflow on all cable types

Read moreIEC 60079-1 – Flameproof Path Properties
A flameproof joint or flame path is defined by IEC 60079-1 as a “place where the corresponding surfaces of two parts of an enclosure, or the conjunction of enclosures, come together and which prevents the transmission of an internal explosion to the explosive gas atmosphere surrounding the enclosure”.
Read moreEquipment Surface Temperature Classification
Classification of the maximum surface temperature of equipment has been established internationally to create a uniform reference table (unless otherwise specified on equipment selected, the maximum ambient temperature is taken as being 40°C, in line with IEC 60079 Standards). The purpose of the temperature classification is to place equipment into an appropriate category according to its specific thermal properties when exposed to the worst case conditions.
