The Differences Between Armoured Cable Gland and Explosion-Proof Cable Gland
1. Explosion-proof cable gland
Explosion-proof cable gland is a kind of electrical cable gland specially used in hazardous area, which can provide reliable electrical connection in explosive gas environment. Its main feature is that it can withstand certain mechanical shocks and vibrations, while also being able to withstand certain chemical corrosion. The materials and structures of explosion-proof glands must undergo special treatment to ensure that they can be used safely and reliably in hazardous environments. They are widely used in industry, petrochemical, chemical and other fields.
2. Armored Cable Gland
Armored cable gland is a device for protecting cables. It covers the outer layer of the cable with a layer of metal mesh or metal tape to form a shielding layer that can block external interference. Armored explosion-proof cable gland can provide mechanical protection against electromagnetic radiation, and prevent cables from being chewed by small animals. It is widely used in various occasions, such as electric power, petrochemical, shipbuilding, metallurgy and other fields.
3. The difference between explosion-proof cable gland and armored cable gland
3.1. Different functions: Explosion-proof cable glands are used to connect cables and can be used in hazardous environments. Armored cable gland is used to protect cables and prevent damage to the cables from external factors.
3.2. Different materials: Explosion-proof cable glands need to have explosion-proof performance, so the materials and structures must undergo special treatment. Armored cable gland generally uses metal mesh, metal belts and other materials to provide protection.
3.3. Different application scenarios: Explosion-proof cable glands are widely used in hazardous environments, such as oil exploration, chemical industry and other fields. Armored cable gland is widely used in various occasions, such as electric power, petrochemical, metallurgy and other fields.
In summary, although explosion-proof cable gland and armored cable gland are both equipment used to protect cables, there are obvious differences in their functions, materials, and applications. The selection should be based on the actual situation to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
Combining the advantages and functions of these two types of cable glands, we have developed a type of gland that has both explosion-proof and armored protection functions. You can click on the link below to view detailed specifications.
