Correspondence

Correspondence between hazardous areas, substances and categories

The cable glands and accessories are made to be installed in the following areas:

Safe area: industrial execution
Zone 1 and 2, Zone 21 and 22: Ex db / Ex eb / Ex tb execution
Group I (mines), category M2 (I M2)
Group II (surface), category 2, potentially explosive atmospheres of mixture of air gases, vapours, mists, or dusts (II 2 GD)
Groups of gas IIA, IIB e IIC
Groups of dusts: IIIA, IIIB e IIIC

The classification of areas, foresees that hazardous areas are divided into zones based on the frequency and duration of the occurrence of an explosive atmosphere and the type of hazardous substances (liquids, gases and vapours or dust).

For more information refers to the following standards

IEC/EN 60079-10-1 Explosive atmospheres. Part 10-1: Classification of areas – Explosive gas atmospheres

EX MARKINGS ON EXGRIP PRODUCTS

The markings on cable glands, adaptors or plugs are very important as they allow the user to identify the article and manufacturer. Via the information on the markings, it is possible to check if the product meets the required application. Particular attention should be paid to certifications, relevant identification numbers, levels of protection and degree of protection IP.
The marking includes name of the manufacturer or its trademark, manufacturer article identification number, certification issuer’s name or marking and certificate reference. If it is necessary to indicate specific conditions of use, an “”X”” shall be placed after the certificate reference. A specific Ex marking shall be used for explosive gases and/or dust atmospheres.
Ex cable glands, blanking elements and thread adaptors need not be marked with a temperature class or maximum surface temperature.
