Atex-Iecex
The term ATEX is derived from “ATmosphères” and “EXplosibles” and refers, precisely, to the explosive atmosphere, which is a mixture with air, under given atmospheric conditions, of flammable substances in the state of: gases, vapors, mists and dusts.
Electrical installations in hazardous locations possess specific characteristics to make them suitable for operation in such atmospheres. IEC and EN standards regulate the use of equipment in classified environments and are constantly evolving.
The latest approved standards, introduce the concept of “equipment protection level” called EPL, allowing the use of “risk assessment” in selecting said equipment in hazardous environments.
The Equipment Protection Level (EPL) is an indicator of the explosion risk that the equipment itself may have, regardless of the chosen protection method related to the classified zone of installation.
In addition to investing several thousand euros in the training of its employees Techcab has also been able to increase its knowledge in this area through synergy with several companies that work and produce the harsh environments.
Techcab actively operates in the following production sectors:
- SPRUCE INDUSTRY (Dusts presence)
- ZOOTECHNICAL INDUSTRY (Dusts presence)
- COMPOSITES AND COATINGS INDUSTRY (Gases presence)
- GAS COMPRESSION INDUSTRY (Gases presence)
