Explosion-Proof Enclosures Provide Corrosion Protection

Nov. 14, 2012
Stainless-steel enclosures are suitable for offshore, petrochemical or volatile industrial areas.

Adalet now offers Division 1/Zone 1 explosion-proof enclosures constructed from stainless steel 316L. Designed for use in highly corrosive areas, the new cast stainless-steel explosion-proof enclosures are suitable for offshore, petrochemical or volatile industrial areas where environmental conditions require additional corrosion protection.

The XCESX series of cast stainless-steel explosion-proof enclosures provide an alternative to traditional cast aluminum explosion-proof enclosures, which may become compromised or could break down over time in highly corrosive areas. Rated for Class I, Division 1/Zone 1 hazardous locations, the XCESX enclosure series carries UL, cUL, ATEX, and IECEx approvals for global applications.

The enclosures come in five standard sizes. Features include a water-tight gasket and stainless steel cover bolts for Type 4X/IP66 ratings, stainless-steel hinge kit, mounting panel, removable lifting eye bolts, cover alignment device, cast-on mounting lugs and internal/external ground screws. A flat plate cover allows for additional working area for viewing windows and operating devices such as pushbuttons, selector switches and pilot lights.
