Aug 30, 2005
Wiring protection in the food manufacturing industry requires complete water tight performance, certainly where hose down situations occur and 'liquid tight' conduit systems are required.
Kopex is the leading company providing specialist conduit systems for wiring protection in demanding applications.
Often this requires complete water tight performance, certainly where hose down situations occur and here, Kopex's range of 'Liquid tight' conduit systems is the optimum solution.
There are many variations within the range.
UL/CSA is an approved system, meeting the UL and CSA standards for North America, ideal where food and drink processing equipment is being exported to that region.
This conduit has high mechanical strength and ingress protection to IP 66/67 when used with associated connectors.
UL/CSA has a temperature rating of -25 deg C to +105 deg C and is available in 16mm to 63mm diameters.
In flame propagation tests, flames are extinguished in less than 60 seconds after the ignition source is removed.
Also part of the Liquid Tight Range is the oil resistant RO-PVC version, which provides increased protection against dilute acids, alkalis and hydro-carbon products.
It provides IP66 and IP67 ingress protection with Liquid Tight connectors.
Electrical flash voltage is 72kV and insulation resistance is greater than 100 mega-ohms.
The RO-PVC conduit has exceptional mechanical strength and is available in 16-40mm diameter sizes.
It has a temperature rating of -40 deg C to +105 deg C and its flame propagation properties ensure the flame dies in only 30 seconds after the ignition source is removed.
RO-PVC conduit has SEMKO, NEMKO, VDE approvals and is used in conjunction with Kopex's range of FK-F straight and angled connectors.
