Explosion Proof Wiring Systems

[Toonlad]

ive been working on a hazardous area site for the past 13 years 10 unaided so the statments i have made are correct so please dont embarrass yourself trying to disprove them.the rambo guip is in reference to your " Challenger 2 main battle tank ive been in the TA " bit.youre not in the army so let it go.

im not an expert on anything so ill only write what i know to be true.

its been fun, have a nice weekend.

Lol nice to know it took you 3 yrs to make glands off.. speedy gonzalas, before you were unaided. lmao some achievement. Whahahahahahahahahahaha. Can you link up with specs and post some funnies, in the jokes section. Whahahahahahahaha

Yes, which can only be done in a controlled way, not instantaneously as you say. A part of me thinks due to your attitude and tone that you happen to be the one without any knowledge. You seem rather defensive for someone who supposedly has nothing to prove.

I'm also not quite sure I understand the 'Rambo' quip?

Hey ho though, you know everthing so I guess that makes everyone elses knowledge irrelevant. Sorry to have questioned you Your Grace!

I didn't understand the Rambo bit either! Rambo didn't need a tank, he was a one man army!

haha its really funny reading some of these old posts by people with limited knowledge trying to look like they know what their talking about.
a little knowledge is a dangerous thing!

Limited knowledge, ..... haha, you'll have to enlighten me then. lol!!

I've probably forgotten more than you presently seem to know!! The gap that you're talking about, only occurs during the event of an internal explosion, the width of the extended flat mating surfaces are designed to expand just enough to allow the controlled escape of safe cooled gases to the surrounding potentially hazardous atmosphere.

Anyway, so what is so different from what i've stated earlier on in this thread, to your new 4 pennies worth??

You're the guy enquiring about choc blocks and talking about 20KA fault currents aren't you? Are you using these choc blocks in Ex'd enclosures then and forgot to mention that little bit of info?? BTW, what method do you employ to IR circuits at your site??

wow this is getting exciting.

who said ive been doing glands for 3 years? been installing and calibrating process equipment such as I/P convertors, pressure transmitters, massflow meters and other 4-20mA stuff im sure you can relate to that toonlad.

the post about connectors was me trying to find out at what fault currents if any are connector blocks designed to,but seems no one knows.

didnt seek out to knock eng54 but his post made me chuckle.

lots of love,looking forward to the next onslaught.

ill just add this, the gap does not occur during a explosion its always there and it is measured with feeler gauges. just remember to use a silicon based grease to prevent the flamepath from rusting.

 

[pepparz]

nearly forgot,dont add chock blocks to flameproof enclosures as it an illegal modification

That proves nothing. It just means you could have been doing it badly for 13 years. Hell ive seen sparks that have been doing it for 25-30 years and they were terrible (qualified)


Ok mate what specific regulation are you talking about id like to know so i can look it up

 

[pepparz]

yep thats right ive been doing it badly for 13 years for the same chemical company checked by the same insurance inspector and the same instrument engineer,im surprised im still in emploment hahahahaha your pathetic attempts to discredit me will never work Whaahahahahahah *pulls black cloak over head and disappears in a cloud of smoke*

Im not having a dig just saying that experience isnt everything and just because someone has done something for a long time doesnt mean there good at it or know what they are doing

 

[shanky887614]

What reg number can i refer to about this?

Surely if you have been doing it for 13 years you would have mentioned this as they can't argue with the regs in front of them
