Flameproof and Increased Safety

Features
Unique Rear Sealing System
This arrangement offers IP66, IP67, IP68 (30 metres for 7 days), NEMA 4X and
Deluge (DTS01) Ingress Protection. The seal is manufactured from a silicone
material, has LSFZH properties, is ozone and oil resistant and is suitable for use
at both high and low temperatures. The Rear Sealing System covers the entire
range of cable diameters without the need for special seals and the cable
acceptance range is stamped on the backnut for ease of inspection. The backnut
can be hand tightened, with only one further spanner turn required to ensure
IP66, IP67, IP68 and NEMA 4X.
Unique Inspectable Compound Chamber
The revolutionary Hawke compound chamber has been designed with
inspectability in mind. The pre-lubricated compound chamber can be removed
once the compound has fully cured, allowing full inspection of the flameproof seal.
If required minor surface voids can be repaired in situ. This unique patented
compound chamber now forms the compound as well as providing a flameproof
seal, resulting in reduced piece parts, as there is no longer a requirement to
separate the seal from the compound chamber.
Zero Cable Damage
The unique Hawke diaphragm sealing system does not damage cable with
'Cold Flow' characteristics. The diaphragm type seal is the only elastomeric seal
to comply fully with EN 60079-14 and IEC 60079-14 and is therefore suitable on
cables which would otherwise require barrier style cable glands.
The Hawke diaphragm seal is also unique in that it is the only flameproof
elastomeric seal that can be visually inspected in operation - A real benefit to
ATEX inspectors.
The Original Reversible Armour Clamp
The original RAC clamping system was invented by Hawke over 10 years ago and
is a well established proven performer in all conditions. Simply by reversing the
clamping ring, the cable gland can adjust to accomodate all types of cable armour
or braid. Unlike many of our competitors the correct clamping orientation is
marked clearly with a 'W', 'Z' or 'X' and backed up by the presence of a groove
in the component. Hawke's RAC clamping system is also fully inspectable when
positioned on the cable.
Inspectable Deluge Seal
Hawke's inspectable deluge seal offers IP66 and IP67 sealing and is certified as
'deluge proof' by ITS in accordance with DTS01. Indeed Hawke's deluge seal is
so good that it exceeds the expectations of the offshore industry by not only
preventing ingress into the equipment, but also into the cable gland, which could
potentially corrode the cable armour.

Features
at both high and low temperatures.
The Rear Sealing System covers the entire range of cable diameters without the
need for special seals and the cable acceptance range is stamped on the backnut
for ease of inspection. The backnut can be hand tightened, with only one further
spanner turn required to ensure IP66, IP67, IP68 and NEMA 4X.
The Original Reversible Armour Clamp

The original RAC clamping system was invented by Hawke over 10 years ago and
is a well established proven performer in all conditions. Simply by reversing the
clamping ring, the cable gland can adjust to accomodate all types of cable armour
or braid. Unlike many of our competitors the correct clamping orientation is
marked clearly with a 'W', 'Z' or 'X' and backed up by the presence of a groove
in the component. Hawke's RAC clamping system is also fully inspectable when
positioned on the cable.

Hawke's inspectable deluge seal offers IP66 and IP67 sealing and is certified
as 'deluge proof' by ITS in accordance with DTS01. Indeed Hawke's deluge seal is
so good that it exceeds the expectations of the offshore industry by not only
preventing ingress into the equipment, but also into the cable gland, which could
potentially corrode the cable armour.

The Rear Sealing System covers the entire range of cable diameters without the
need for special seals and the cable acceptance range is stamped on the backnut
for ease of inspection. The backnut can be hand tightened, with only one further
spanner turn required to ensure IP66, IP67, IP68 and NEMA 4X.
Armour Grounding Device

This device provides 360 armour grounding which is fully inspectable.
The grounding device is unique in that it remains in contact with the metal
cable jacket when the cable gland/connector is disassembled for inspection.

Hawke's inspectable deluge seal offers IP66 and IP67 sealing and is certified
as 'deluge proof' by ITS in accordance with DTS01. Indeed Hawke's deluge seal
is so good that it exceeds the expectations of the offshore industry by not only
preventing ingress into the equipment, but also into the cable gland/connector,
which could potentially corrode the cable armour. The deluge seal is coloured
red for hazardous location products and black for industrial general purpose
products.

The intent of this section of the catalogue is to identify important features that may be useful in the selection and
installation of explosion protected electrical equipment.
There are numerous different regulations, codes, guidelines and standards for the design, installation and
maintenance of electrical and non-electrical systems for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. The type of
operational facility, geographic location, operator practice, local and national legislation, authority having jurisdiction
etc. will determine many of the design and installation rules permitted. A fixed or floating petroleum facility
located offshore, for example, would not be designed or classified in the same manner as an onshore

petrochemical facility.
1.0 Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

An explosive atmosphere is defined as a mixture: -
Of flammable substances in the form of gases, vapours, mists, dusts or fibres
With air
Under atmospheric conditions
In which, after ignition has occurred, combustion spreads to the entire unburned mixture
2.0 Area Classification (Classification of Locations)

The purpose of area classification is to provide a basis for the correct selection, installation and location
of electrical and non-electrical equipment in those areas. Areas must be classified depending on the
properties of the flammable vapours, liquids, gases, mists, combustible dusts or fibres that may be present
and the likelihood that a flammable or combustible concentration or quantity is present.
The aim of area classification is to avoid ignition of flammable releases that may occur in the operation of
facilities. The intent is to reduce to an acceptable minimum level the probability of a flammable
atmosphere and an ignition source occurring at the same time.
3.0 CENELEC and IEC

3.1 Area Classification
Area classification is the division of a facility into three-dimensional hazardous areas and non-
hazardous areas and the sub-division of the hazardous area into 'Zones'.
Hazardous areas may be sub-divided into three Zones as follows: -
Flammable gases and vapours
An area in which an explosive atmosphere is constantly present, or present for

Zone 0 long periods.
An area in which an explosive atmosphere is likely to occur in normal operation.

Zone 1
(Rough Guide: 10 hours or more / year but less than 1,000 hours / year)
An area in which an explosive atmosphere is not likely to occur in normal

Zone 2 operation and if it occurs, it will exist only for a short time.
(Rough Guide: Less than 10 hours / year)

Combustible Dusts
An area in which combustible dust, as a cloud, is present continuously or
Zone 20 frequently, during normal operation, in sufficient quantity to be capable of
producing an explosive concentration of combustible dust in a mixture with air
An area, in which combustible dust, as a cloud, is occasionally present during
Zone 21 normal operation, in a sufficient quantity to be capable of producing an

explosive concentration of combustible dust in a mixture with air.
An area, in which combustible dust, as a cloud, may occur infrequently and
Zone 22 persist for only a short period, or in which accumulations of layers of
combustible dust may give rise to an explosive concentration of combustible
dust in mixture with air.

3.2 Classification Society

A Classification Society may also enforce requirements for the design and installation of
facilities. These requirements, which are in addition to statutory requirements, may influence the
design and installation of the electrical systems. Classification Societies include ABS, DNV and
Lloyds Register.
3.3 Design and Installation of Electrical Systems for Hazardous (Classified) Areas
There are numerous regulation codes, guidelines and standards for the design, selection and
installation of electrical installation in potentially explosive atmospheres. These requirements are
in addition to the requirements for installations in non-hazardous areas.
There are several types of protection, i.e. construction techniques, available for electrical
apparatus in hazardous areas. The type of protection permitted will depend upon the applicable
installation codes and rules to be adopted.
The selection of electrical apparatus should be in accordance with the following: -
Classification of the hazardous area

Temperature class or ignition temperature of the gas, liquid, vapours, mist, dust or fibre
Where applicable, the gas, vapour or dust classification in relation to the group or sub-
group of the electrical apparatus

To ensure compliance with the Directive, equipment must meet with the essential requirements
specified in the Directive and be marked with the CE marking.
The process of ensuring that equipment complies with the Directive, conformity assessment
procedure(s) must be complied with. These procedures may involve a Notified Body. A Notified body is
a body that is independent of the product manufacturer and assesses conformity of the products and
the manufacturer with the Directive. The Notified Body has to be approved and appointed by its
government.
Conformity assessment procedures include, but are not limited by: -
EC Type examination - including testing and inspection of a product design, where appropriate
Production Quality Assurance - including the assessment, periodic auditing, testing and inspection of
production samples, where appropriate, and of the manufacturers quality system.
Product Verification - the inspection and/or testing of each production item for conformity with the
type that was subjected to EC Type Examination
Internal Control of Production - the verification by the manufacturer that the product design and
each production item conform to either harmonised European Standards or the essential
requirements or a combination of the two
The ATEX Directive came into force on a voluntary basis on 1st March 1996 and will become

5.0 Wiring Systems

Cable systems and accessories should be installed in positions that prevent them from being subject to
mechanical damage, corrosion, chemical attack, heat and other detrimental environmental conditions.
Selection of the wiring system and cable type must consider these influences and where exposure to such
conditions are unavoidable, protective measures such as minimising the risk of mechanical damage by the
use of appropriate armoured cable types should be considered.
The connection of cables and conduits to the electrical apparatus must be in accordance with the
Technical Data
requirements of the relevant type of protection and installation rules.
5.1 CENELEC and IEC Wiring Methods

With the introduction of cables incorporating new construction materials and especially cables
with fire retardant or fire resistant properties such as cables complying with IEC 60331 and
IEC 60332, cables may exhibit "cold flow" characteristics. "Cold flow" is a term used for
thermoplastic materials that flow when subjected to pressure at ambient temperature. These
"cold flow" characteristics could have adverse effects on the protection of the apparatus. A suitable
cable gland should be used that does not incorporate displacement / compression seals that act
upon the part(s) of the cable having cold flow characteristics.
To overcome this problem, Hawke has developed cable glands that incorporate diaphragm seals
that act upon the "cold flow" cable sheath without compressing or damaging the cable. A typical
cable gland incorporating displacement/compression seals and a Hawke 501/453/Universal cable
gland incorporating a diaphragm seal are shown below.
No cable damage due to Hawke 501/453 Cable damage as found with cable gland
Universal diaphragm seal cable gland designs incorporating compression /

The IEC and CENELEC installation standards, IEC 60079-14 and EN 60079-14 address "cold flow"
in Clause 9.1.3.

5.3 Wiring Methods for Type of Protection 'e' - Increased Safety:

The cable entry device, e.g. cable gland, must comply with all the requirements referred to in the
appropriate Standard, be appropriate to the cable type. and maintain the type 'e' integrity of the
equipment.
A minimum ingress protection rating of IP54 is required for increased safety equipment. To meet
with this requirement it may be necessary to provide a seal between the cable gland and the
equipment, for example, by the use of a sealing washer or thread sealant. Where cable glands are
fitted into non-metallic enclosures, metallic enclosures with a painted type finish or enclosures with
non-threaded clearance holes, additional ingress and earthing / bonding considerations may be
necessary. Please refer to the sealing washer, earthtag, serrated washer and locknut accessories
shown in the catalogue.

7.0 CE Marking
The CE Marking is intended to facilitate the free movement of products within the European Union. By
affixing CE marking to products, the manufacturer is making a legal declaration that the product meets
with the appropriate requirements of all relevant European Directives. CE marking only applies to
products within the scope of the Directives. It should not be applied to products if they are outside the
7.1 EMC, Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive
Technical Data
Most electrical and electronic products made or sold in the EU must: -
Be constructed so they do not cause excessive electromagnetic interference and are not
unduly affected by electromagnetic interference;
In the case of certain radio-transmitting equipment, be subject to EC type examination by
a notified body; and
Carry CE marking
Cable glands are not considered to come within the scope of the Directive, however we have
carried out independent third-party testing on the EMC shielding effectiveness of our
armoured type cable glands fitted onto single wire armoured and braided-type cables. The
electromagnetic ingress between the cable sample (perfect connection) and that of the cable
sample fitted with the cable gland was of such a small magnitude that it could be regarded as
within acceptable uncertainty of measurement. As such, it can be concluded that the shielding
effectiveness of single wire armoured or braided cable is maintained when fitted with an
appropriate Hawke armoured type cable gland.
7.2 Low Voltage Directive
The Low voltage Directive 73/23/EEC embodies a number of principles: -
Only electrical equipment that does not jeopardise the safety of people, domestic animals
and property, is permitted on the market.
Only electrical equipment, that satisfies the CE marking requirements of the LVD, is in
compliance.
Electrical equipment is not required to be tested or marked for approval by an
independent third party
Enforcement is the responsibility of each member state within its national jurisdiction.
The regulations apply to all electrical equipment, except where extensions apply, that is
designed for use between 50 and 1000 volts ac or 75 and 1500 volts dc.
Only components, which are in themselves "electrical equipment", need satisfy the Low
Voltage Directive.
Cable glands are not in themselves "electrical equipment" and therefore do not fall within the
scope of the LVD.
8.0 Certification / Listing / Approvals

Electrical equipment for use in potentially explosive atmospheres is usually certified, listed or approved
by a recognised Certification Body or Test House. In Europe, there are numerous Certification Bodies
such as BASEEFA 2001 Limited and SIRA in the UK. In North America, there are many recognised
Certification Bodies and testing laboratories such as UL, FM and the CSA. The definition of "Approved"
by the NEC is "Acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction". The definition "Listed" by the NEC is
"Equipment, materials or services included in a list published by an organisation that is acceptable to the
authority having jurisdiction". Further information is given in the NEC.

9.1 Deluge Ingress Protection
Technical Data
On offshore facilities, equipment may be located in areas subject to emergency deluge systems.
Equipment that has been evaluated as certified for use in hazardous areas may not be suitable
for use in these locations. A testing method for electrical equipment to be installed in areas
subject to deluge systems, DTS01, has been prepared by the Explosion and Fire Hazards Group
of ERA Technology (now known as ITS) in collaboration with Shell UK Exploration and
Production Ltd.
Testing includes: -
Energising the equipment (where appropriate) for 60 minutes prior to the deluge test, then
interrupting the electrical power at the start of the deluge test and resuming after 60
minutes until the completion of the deluge test.
Carrying out insulation resistance testing before and after pre-conditioning and after the
deluge test, where applicable.
Carrying out pre-conditioning by exposure to vibration and thermal ageing at 90% relative
humidity and at a temperature 20k above the equipments maximum service temperature
and/or at least 80C of any appropriate seals.
Carrying out deluge test using a deluge chamber fitted with deluge nozzles that apply a salt
water solution deluge pressure within the range of 3.5 bar to 4.5 bar at a water
temperature in the range of 5C to 10C for 3-hours.
10.0 IECEx Scheme

The objective of the IECEx Scheme is to facilitate international trade in electrical equipment intended for
use in potentially explosive atmospheres by eliminating the need for multiple national certification. The
IECEx Scheme provides a means for manufacturers to obtain Certificates of Conformity that will be
accepted at national level in all participating countries. A Certificate of Conformity may be obtained from
any certification body accepted into the scheme. The objective of the IECEx Scheme is world-wide
acceptance of one standard, one certificate, and one mark.
For the IEC scheme to achieve its objective, every applicable national standard will need to be identical to
the corresponding IEC standard. A transition period will be necessary to allow time for participating
IECEx Scheme countries to align their national standards with the IEC standards and work towards
national acceptance of IECEx Certificates of Conformity and the IECEx mark.
