Chemical explosion-proof cabinets, safety cabinets, fireproof cabinets, the difference between and summary of common problems

Strictly speaking, the explosion-proof cabinet called incorrect, not rigorous. Accurately speaking, it should be called: chemical fire and explosion-proof safety storage cabinets. Because of its fire, explosion-proof and safety features, it is also known as the country's chemical fire cabinet, explosion-proof cabinet, safety cabinet. As China's industrial development is lagging behind, many of the MRO products are borrowed from foreign countries, Europe and the United States more. Today's industry is facing more and more dangerous flammable products, its safe handling and storage is an urgent need to solve the problem. The flammable liquid storage is designed in full compliance with OSHA standards, specializing in storing 4 to 90 gallons of international standard flammable products. The unique double-layer steel design and explosion-proof features ensure the safety of your storage. The interior of the cabinet is equipped with adjustable shelves for easy storage of alcohol and other flammable items, improving space utilization.

The main features are as follows:

1. Safe storage of hazardous chemicals, reduce the occurrence of fire accidents, and protect the safety of people and equipment

2. Organized and methodical separation of all types of hazardous liquids

3. Close storage of solvents to improve your efficiency

4. Three-point interlocking locks to enhance safety

5, Fire-resistant time

With the economic development, the state attaches more and more importance to safety production. In recent years, the People's Republic of China *** and the State Fire Services Law, the People's Republic of China *** and the State Production Safety Law, the People's Republic of China *** and the State Prevention and Control of Occupational Diseases Law, and the Safety Management of Hazardous Chemicals regulations and other laws and regulations have been introduced. However, there is no flammable and explosive storage cabinets related standards, laws and regulations, most of the domestic factories, in order to cope with safety inspections, had to buy what is cheaper cabinets, developed countries in Europe and the United States in fact, there are clear regulations, the national understanding of the FM certified safety cabinets, explosion-proof cabinets, fireproof cabinets Relatively more points on the EN14470-1 certification standards for safety cabinets, explosion-proof cabinets, fireproof cabinets know very few people, in fact, EN14470-1 standards, explosion-proof cabinets, fireproof cabinets, very few people. In fact, EN14470-1 standard is much higher than the FM standard. The following is a detailed description of EN14470-1:

EN 14470-1 is a European development in April 2004, for the storage of chemicals safety cabinets, explosion-proof cabinets, fire cabinets, safety standards. It contains three main safety fundamentals:

1. To reduce the risk of fires caused by chemicals stored in safety cabinets and to improve the protection of these materials in the event of a fire. The latter is thus formulated as a Fire Resistance Time (FR, in minutes)

2. Reduction of chemical emissions into the environment.

3. Retaining chemical gas leakage inside the cabinet

EN14470-1 contains 4 fire resistance categories - with FR times of 15, 30, 60 and 90 minutes - to suit the different needs of EU member states. The standard is not fully acceptable to every member state, as the new standard does not replace existing national regulations for the handling of flammable liquids in some EU member states. For example, in Germany, they will not accept cabinets with a 15-minute flame retardancy because they are not allowed to violate existing operational safety regulations (BetrSichV) and Appendix L of the Technical Regulations for Flammable Liquids (TRbF).

Fire resistance:

In the event of a fire, it must be ensured that the chemicals in the cabinets, blast cabinets, fireproof cabinets, and fireproof cabinets do not cause a greater fire damage in a period of not less than 15 minutes. Cabinets, explosion-proof cabinets, fireproof cabinets, chemicals stored in the cabinet will not lead to greater harm to the contents of the cabinet, to prevent the spread of fire.

EN 14470-1 Safety cabinets, explosion-proof cabinets, fireproof cabinets can be classified according to their fire resistance as follows:

Type 15 - ? The fire resistance of safety cabinets, explosion-proof cabinets and fireproof cabinets is not less than 15 minutes

Type 30 - ? The fire resistance of safety cabinets, explosion-proof cabinets and fireproof cabinets is not less than 30 minutes

Type 60 - ? The fire resistance of safety cabinets, explosion-proof cabinets and fireproof cabinets shall be not less than 60 minutes

Type 90 - ? The fire resistance of safety cabinets, explosion-proof cabinets and fireproof cabinets is not less than 90 minutes

Users can choose suitable safety cabinets, explosion-proof cabinets and fireproof cabinets according to the type of chemicals stored

The maximum fire time of safety cabinets, explosion-proof cabinets and fireproof cabinets of the FM standard is 10 minutes, and the fire resistance of EN14470-1 standard is divided into four grades of fire resistance time: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes and 90 minutes. minutes four levels. Obviously EN14470-1 standard is much higher than the FM standard, why Europe and the United States more important, more care about the EN14470-1 standard answer is here.

The main difference between the two can be summarized as follows:

1. FM6050 certification, is the U.S. factory standards, EN14470-1:2004 certification, is the EU laboratory standards.

2. Fireproof cabinets that meet the FM6050 certification are double-layer steel plate structure, and between the two layers of steel plate is air.

3. The fireproof cabinet conforming to EN14470-1:2004 certification is also a double-layer steel plate structure, and between the two layers of steel plate, there is a heat insulation layer.

4. The maximum fire resistance time of FM standard is 10 minutes, while EN14470-1 standard fire resistance time is divided into four levels: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes and 90 minutes.
