Top Quality Cable Glands For Hazardous Areas

Top Quality Cable Glands For Hazardous Areas

Do you work in the challenging environment of the Oil and Petrochemical industries?

In hazardous areas, the atmosphere can contain flammable or explosive gases, dusts or vapours. Such perilous conditions require products which are designed to be both flame proof and explosion proof.

Hazardous areas are categorised into different zones to indicate the level of risk and ensure that the right apparatus is used. In Zone 1, for example, an explosive gas atmosphere is likely to occur in normal operation. Meanwhile, in Zone 2, it is not likely to occur; and if it does, it will only exist for a short time.

If you’re looking for a company that stock products for hazardous areas, ETS Cable Components are keen to help.

We are leading distributors of explosive atmosphere and hazardous area (ATEX) electrical equipment for the Oil and Gas Petrochemical Industries. With nearly 30 years’ experience, we have supplied products for many projects in challenging areas, including The Shetland Gas Plant, Hole House Farm Gas Storage and Golden Eagle Oil Field.

Our IECEx and ATEX certified equipment are ideal for within CAT 2 (Zone 1) and CAT 3 (Zone 2) where gasses are present. We also have equipment for zone 21 and 22 where explosive dust is present.
