Ex isolating spark gaps EXFS L are used for conductive system parts
which cannot be interconnected directly in hazardous zones. This includes,
for example, pipe sections supplied with a cathodic corrosion protection
system.
ATEX certified EXFS L spark gaps provide approved and tested safety
according to harmonised European standards.
The arc-resistant tungsten-copper electrodes ensure a long service life
of the Ex spark gaps.
The approved type EXFS L with flexible conductor connection adjusts
itself quickly to any application environment. The prewired spark gaps
include connecting cables of different lengths with cable lugs, M10 screws
and nuts. Flat or angled connection brackets (IF), which are available as
accessories, allow for easy connection of the spark gap at pipeline flanges.

Application
An isolating spark gap makes an indirect connection between functionally
separate parts of an installation, e.g. isolated earth-termination systems.
It can be used to bridge insulating pieces, insulating couplings and
insulating flanges on installations with cathodic corrosion protection parts
of an installation, such as pipelines or tanks, or as a measure of lightning
equipotential bonding according to DIN VDE 0185.

Remark: After a long period of storage in darkness, GDT-spark gaps may show a first measured value of DC or AC spark-over voltage that exceeds tolerance
levels. However, this is not important when assessing isolating spark gaps.

Carrier pipeline insulators
Document No.: 14-301-R1
Sheet: 1 of 1
Plastic Insulators
Polypropylene insulators are universally used in the installation
of pipelines when the carrier pipe runs inside a casing.
Plastic insulators provide various advantages:
Easy installation of the carrier pipe since the plastic
material reduces the friction coefficient to a minimum.
Minimised friction prevents damage to the protective
coating and insulation of the pipes.
A wide range of skid heights ensures concentricity of
the carrier pipe in the casing (if required).
Excellent insulating properties of the plastic material
ensures that all requirement for cathodic protection
are met.
Plastic insulators are suitable for all pipe diameters from
25 mm upwards and many skid heights are available to
suit specific requirements.
