E1FX | Ex eb, Ex db, Ex nR, Ex ta | Explosive Atmosphere Cable Gland For Braid & Steel Tape Armoured Cables

Internationally Approved, Explosive Atmosphere Cable Gland

• Metal-to-metal armour clamping
• Direct & remote installation
• Displacement type flameproof inner seal
• Controlled outer ‘load retention’ seal
• Unique OSTG prevents overtightening
• Designed to prevent Coldflow, see CMP Technical Document TS001 (available upon request)
• -60°C to +130°C
• Class I Zone 1, 21 and Zone 2, 22 Class I Division 2 ABCD
• Globally marked, IECEx, ATEX & cCSAus
• Superior EMC performance

Note: † Grooved Cone (X) is predominantly used for Wire Braid (e.g. GSWB, TCWB), Steel Tape Armour (STA, DSTA) and Aluminium Strip Armour (ASA) but is also suitable for Single Wire Armour (SWA), Aluminium Wire Armour (AWA) and Pliable Wire Armour (PWA) if the range is outside that of the Stepped Cone (W).

Note: Grooved Cone (X) dimensions shown in the Cable Gland Selection Table below are for a double wire strand of braid armour cables. Tapes can also be doubled over. For cables that have only a single layer of armour such as SWA the clamping range should be used as shown in the table below.

Additional Information

Dust Ignition Prevention

Combustible dust can be ignited by electrical equipment in several ways, for example by: - Surfaces of the equipment that are above the minimum ignition temperature of the dust concerned. - The temperature at which a type of dust ignites is a function of the properties of the dust;

Sources of Release & Grades of Release

Sources of release may originate from almost anywhere in the process or storage area of an explosive atmosphere site. Flammable materials may be released from pumps, pipes, flanges, valves, sampling points, or other similar equipment. The release may be caused for example by either process seal failure, leakage to flanged joints, ruptures to pipe work, spillage from over filling of floating roof storage tank (e.g. following faulty level switch reading), other mechanical failure, or an inadvertent operations error.

Zone Definitions

Under IEC rules explosive atmospheres are divided into three zones, or areas of risk (in the case of gas and vapour), and IEC 60079-10 recognises these as Zone 0, Zone 1 and Zone 2.
