COVER STORY
FLEXICON
F lexible conduits provide incredible protection in the most technically and physically demanding environments where system integrity and safety are critical. In addition to the obvious advantages – simplicity, speed of installation, lifetime solution and system integrity – flexible conduits also allow users and specifiers to do things differently; to challenge traditional installation practices and offer unrivalled product performance. Risks and hazards to cabling can vary significantly depending on application, operating environments and conditions, which is why one system does not necessarily suit all. The performance properties of flexible conduit solutions can minimise your risk, however, incorrect specification could lead to critical failures for your cabling and installation. Mechanical protection Flexicon products are available in Ireland through Core Distribution and have been designed and tested for dynamic applications. Whether an installation is fixed or subjected to continuous movement, vibration can be a potential hazard, which needs careful consideration. Infrastructure can potentially be exposed to vibration, impact and other mechanical forces which could compromise system integrity. Flexicon products can help avoid disruption in case of: • Theft and Vandalism: Stealing, unauthorised removal or deliberate damage • Tensile Strength: Resistance to conduit being pulled from the fitting • Abrasion: Process of scraping or wearing something away Ingress protection Flooding is one of the most extreme forms of hazards for electrical systems. If product is submerged ingress protection becomes critical. Flexicon carries out extensive ingress testing - far superior to standard tests - to give customers confidence that true performance is adequately represented in real life installations: • IPx8 carried out at 2 bar for 1 hour at minimum
