Frequently Asked Questions on Explosion Proof Cable Glands

In-depth insights resolving engineering, compliance, and procurement queries.

What is the fundamental difference between Ex d (Flameproof) and Ex e (Increased Safety) cable glands?
Ex d (Flameproof) cable glands are engineered with robust mechanical flamepaths designed to withstand the internal explosion of a flammable gas mixture that has penetrated into the enclosure, preventing the transmission of the flame or hot gases to the surrounding hazardous external atmosphere. Ex e (Increased Safety) glands, on the other hand, focus on elevated containment measures to prevent any arcs, sparks, or excessive temperatures from occurring in normal or abnormal conditions, primarily relying on dynamic seal integrity (such as IP66/IP68 elastomeric rings) without serving as an explosion containment chamber.
How does HOONSUN ensure IP68 waterproof ratings under high-pressure submersion?
Our IP68 testing follows strict parameters under IEC 60529, simulating continuous water immersion at 5 to 10 Bar (up to 100 meters water column depth) for extended durations. This is achieved by combining precision-engineered elastomeric sealing inserts with calibrated internal taper geometries. Tightening the cap nut exerts balanced radial compression along the cable's external sheath without causing cold-flow damage or pinching the inner core insulation.
Can nickel-plated brass cable glands be used in marine offshore platforms?
Yes, high-grade CW617N brass components with an electrolytic nickel coating (minimum 10–15 microns thickness) provide excellent resistance against salt spray, marine fog, and mild chemical washes. For submerged, subsea, or extreme splash-zone applications, we recommend specifying 316L austenitic stainless steel with elevated molybdenum content to resist chloride pitting and crevice corrosion.
What factors determine whether single-seal or double-seal armored glands are required?
Single-seal glands compress only against the outer cable sheath, making them appropriate for unarmored cables or situations where mechanical pull-out force is low. Double-seal armored cable glands incorporate a dual-compression mechanism: an inner elastomer seal seating directly against the cable’s bedding to provide gas/vapor isolation, an armor clamping ring that grips the steel wire or tape armor for mechanical anchor retention and EMC grounding, and an outer seal protecting against water ingress into the armor layer.
What thread types can HOONSUN manufacture for OEM customized projects?
We operate in-house CNC turning lines that cut all standard international thread forms: Metric (ISO 965 M12 to M110), NPT (ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 1/4" to 4"), PG (DIN 40430 PG7 to PG48), and G/BSPP (ISO 228). We can also machine customized thread lengths to accommodate extra-thick cast enclosure walls, explosive-proof terminal box enclosures, and specialized adapter couplings.
