The current trends in the chemical industry has proved to be steered up a strong wave of support to all the other industry verticals, as it drives away a significant conduct in converting material inputs like mineral, metal, oil, gas, water and air into varied products be it semi finished or finished goods. These varied products fall under the dominant sectors like fertilizers, polymers, consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, petroleum and gas, marine, mines & quarries, power plant, water treatment and water works. With this, the present technological drift in the chemical industry has shown great fortunes of innovation in ‘Chemical Electronics’. This has made all the big sharks of the chemical industry to get high tech up-gradations along with safe electronic systems which is possible with secured cabling systems. This article is a detail on how cable lugs fetch long term reliability with all the riches of acid and corrosion resistance that have their application in harsh, extreme and hazardous industrial conditions.
To get high durability and secured cable installation in harsh environment, the crimping lugs with a smart synthesis of materials, streamlines the exact requirements of typical application in the chemical industry. This article stems out the secrets of improving the corrosion and acid resistant to get high reliability in the long run for robust operations in the chemical industry.
The engineering process used to fabricate chemicals need sturdy and tough cable gland installation and cable fittings that does not only have riches of high flexibility, but also are resistant to acid, corrosion, fats, oil and other harsh bases and material. On the other hand, the hazardous industrial environment has an increased risk and uncertainty with subject to the electrical reliability that accounts for chemical attack and corrosion on metals. The two critical aspects that have made the cable lugs to resist the corrosion and acid effects are outlined as under:
- Testing is the success key
To get an anti corrosion and acid resistant features in rough field condition, crimping lugs have a posh range of copper terminals and cable lugs that are crafted with ultra rigorous testing methods. The accelerated corrosion testing, using corrosive gas mixtures, salt spray testing and other testing techniques in addition to the extant of protective coating and plating technology is what gives a smart modifications in cable lugs.
The traditional salt spray testing mechanism is specifically limited to salt laden and sea coast atmosphere. Another modification in testing included the ‘flowing mixed gas corrosion test’ which is best applied in case of simulating applications that include the effect of multiple corrosive components at the same time. The corrosive atmospheric testing is also used in atmospheric evaluation when chemicals come in contact with the external bodies. The visual and electrical test criteria are also one of the vital aspect being concentrated for taking a the testing unit to the next level. The protective coatings and metal contact with the corrosive conditions, that can lead to thermal, mechanical and electrical failure in the long run.
The narrow palm cable lug, two hole cable lug, transformer cable lug and single hole cable lug are a premium class assortment picked as a first choice for competitive sharks in the chemical industry.
- Corrosive chemical reaction
As the chemical processing operation has to tackle with reactive agents, extreme environmental condition and uncertain harmful climatic reaction, the three most vital aspects to look after as a sensitive concern are clamp design, material selection and super effective testing process. The sealed cable lug goes through a straightforward and precise design module at an initial stage of manufacturing cable lug and copper terminals. The sensitive detailing on the effect of corrosive chemicals is also a leading ground work that steals the show to make the cable lugs more user friendly with smooth mechanism, less maintenance and reduced rework.
In any kind of manufacturing and engineering in the chemical domain, the effect of the chemical combination tends to give room to common factors like temperature and moisture. Be it chemical operation used in fertilizer manufacturing, waste water processing, geothermal regions, sea coast regions, soap and detergent, pulp and paper, food and beverage operations, cement processing, agriculture region, glass processing and many more, the chemical sources used sensitively affects the level and speed of the corrosive effects in the cable lugs.
Thus the cable lugs are manufactured in consideration to identifying the corrosive components in the atmosphere and selecting the best combination of material accordingly. Strong sealed enclosure is what adds to the effective performance of each and every model of cable lugs. The researchers are now progressing towards the innovation in crimping lugs that well-suit the complex concepts of the ‘Chemical Electronics’.
