Tecnikabel products installed in the giant Touat Gas field in southwestern Algeria.
Following the most recent progress in legislation, the cables suitable for installation in hazardous areas shall prevent any transversal migration of gas and vapours. Although the Junction Boxes and Cable Glands need complying to the Atex regulation, there is still a high risk of propagation of gas explosive mixtures present in the Explosion areas to the Safe areas, where there can be a consistent number of people. To date, most of the cables are unable to prevent the propagation of combustible gases. The new Gas and Vapour Tight cables engineered by Tecnikabel are widely installed in explosive areas in accordance with the requirements of the IEC 60079-14, not only fulfilling the traditional requirements for cables used in explosive areas in terms of mechanical, chemical and thermal loads, but also in terms of gas transmission.
Tecnikabel can provide in-house testing solution and test report certificates according with the IEC standard for instrumentation, control and power cables. The Gas Migration test can also be performed with the Witness of our customers or the End User.
