Explosion Proof Housing Products

Explosion-proof housing makes it possible to use electrical equipment in a variety of dangerous areas. If you’re concerned about the long-term effects of vapors or dust, these housings prevent any electrical energy (e.g. sparks) from being released in a highly flammable area. The thick walls and airtight joints work to keep industrial sites safe.

The flames of an internal explosion are undoubtedly a problem within the enclosure, but the stakes are far higher when they exit the enclosure into the outdoor environment. The explosion-proof enclosures are designed to contain electrical energy and, at the same time, allow for easy connection to the vibration sensor or transmitter within it.

At Metrix, explosion-proof housings stretch any flames and chokes them off. They protect workers and production. They are more of a necessity in the most hazardous environments, especially the ones with most rigorous compliance standards. With explosion-proof housings for seismic sensors, you get the following benefits:

• Safety: Safety is at the forefront of concern for operators and regulators. You can protect the staff and equipment by placing an explosion-proof enclosure, or using a protective electronic barrier, for the seismic sensor. This allows a plant to comply with even the strictest restrictions regarding hazardous areas (e.g. Zone 0 or 1, Class 1 Div 1 classifications).
• Reliability: Metrix has seen the real-world implications of vibration faults and failures and has built the explosion-proof housings to provide necessary protection for personnel and the environment, given the hazardous areas they’re employed in.

Explosion proof housings are meant to ensure that no energy is released from the sensor to the outside environment. While oil and gas, and chemical industries, are more likely to use these housings, they're equally helpful in everything from food and beverage to the pharmaceutical industry.
