Conduit and cable management for hazardous areas
24-page publication gives in-depth technical and ordering information for a full range of ATEX and IECEx approved metallic and nonmetallic conduit systems and accessories.
This range of flexible conduits is available in basic form as a non-metallic conduit manufactured solely from Peek.
For applications requiring high EMI screening, the Peek conduit is overbraided with a tinned copper sheath.
For applications demanding abuse resistance and high mechanical strength, a stainless-steel overbraid is employed.
These conduits offer very high flexibility and meet the requirements of EN50086 in the temperature range -45 to +250C.
In static applications the conduit can be used in temperatures down to -60C.
Features include an extreme temperature range from -60 to +260C, the lowest smoke and toxicity of any thermoplastic, a UL94V0 flammability rating, London Underground (LUL) approval, FDA approval, radiation resistant (2Grad), self extinguishing and availability in uncovered and braided versions.
Peek is just part of Kopex's continually expanding range of conduit systems.
