HTS sealing solutions for Ex classified areas are engineered to ensure safety in industrial environments where there is a potential risk of explosive atmospheres. These zones, where flammable gases, vapors, mists, or combustible dust are present, require robust protection to prevent hazards and maintain system integrity.
What are Ex classified areas?
An explosive atmosphere is a mixture of hazardous substances with air, which can ignite under specific atmospheric conditions. These areas are common in industries handling volatile or flammable materials.
Industries & activities generating Ex areas
All Ex areas must comply with strict international safety regulations, including IECEx directives, ATEX Workplace Directive (99/92/EC), and ATEX Equipment Directive (94/9/EC). These standards ensure that all installed devices are safe for potentially hazardous environments.
Classification of Ex Rated Areas Based on Explosion Risk
Ex classified areas are categorized based on the probability and duration of explosive atmospheres and the type of hazardous material present (flammable gas or combustible dust).
Understanding the precise zone classification is essential for selecting the appropriate equipment and safety protection levels.
Responsibilities of plant managers in Ex rated areas
Plant managers are responsible for conducting risk assessments and ensuring that all equipment meets ATEX & IECEx standards. Choosing certified sealing solutions is crucial for operational safety and system integrity in high-risk environments.
