Explosion-Proof Equipment Service

Explosion-proof equipment is designed to contain any explosion of flammable gases within the enclosure, preventing ignition of the surrounding atmosphere. This is achieved through heavy-duty enclosures, precisely machined flame paths, and sealed conduit entries. The equipment is certified (UL listed) for specific hazardous location classes and divisions.

No. Repairs, modifications, or replacements of explosion-proof equipment must be performed using certified parts and methods. Field modifications by unqualified personnel can void the equipment rating and create serious safety hazards. WERCS technicians understand these requirements.

Signs include: visible damage to enclosures, loose conduit connections, damaged seals or gaskets, corrosion, unauthorized modifications, or equipment that has been opened without proper procedures. WERCS inspection identifies these issues before they cause compliance violations or safety incidents.

A single compromised explosion-proof enclosure can void the entire C1D1 classification of the room. This means your extraction room no longer meets code requirements for hazardous location operations. Insurance may not cover incidents. State licenses may be at risk.
