Flexicon Product and Solutions Guide

Hazardous Area Applications
In certain sectors of industry, flammable substances such as gases, vapours, mist or dust
can escape during manufacture, processing, storage and transport thus potentially
creating an explosive atmosphere. Our new range of high performance products have
been designed for highly demanding applications and meet the latest
relevant ATEX, IECEx and GOST requirements.
Flammable Mixtures & Ignition Sources
Flammable gases when mixed with air can be explosive.
Gases are categorised into 3 groups with Group A being the
least explosive and Group C being the most explosive.
Equipment is also classified from T1 to T6 according to
maximum allowed temperature of the equipment to prevent
ignition of the gas/air mixture it is designed to work in.
Certain fine dusts dispersed in air can also be explosive.
Ignition sources include: sparking due to static discharge,
electrical arcs, lightning, hot engine exhaust, hot equipment
and heat from chemical reactions.
Flexicon’s EXD barrier glands range can be used in Zone 1 and
Zone 2 areas where Group A, B or C gases are present. As the
gland does not add to the temperature of the enclosure, it does
not have a temperature classification and so can be used with
all temperature classes. Flexicon’s EXD barrier glands can also
be used in Zone 21 and Zone 22 where explosive dust may
be present.
