Product catalog summary

Overview of Glass Reinforced Polyester Enclosures (BPG Range)
The BPG range includes 16 sizes of enclosures made from glass reinforced polyester (GRP), known for its resistance to oils, fats, hydrocarbons, bacteria, and enzymes. It is suitable for low smoke zero halogen (LSOH) applications, offering excellent mechanical strength and durability.

Material and Construction
The enclosures are molded from SMC material, providing greater mechanical strength compared to DMC. This construction ensures structural integrity even under fire conditions, meeting IEC 331 and BS6387/1983 standards for fire resistance.

Ingress Protection and Durability
The BPG range features a labyrinth seal system, achieving IP66/67 ingress protection and passing the Shell/ERA deluge test. External fasteners are made from 316-grade stainless steel for reliability.

Applications
These enclosures are suitable for industrial and hazardous areas, OEM applications, fire protection systems, and more. They can be machined, drilled, tapped, painted, and molded in various colors.

Certification and Temperature Ratings
The BPG range is certified for use in hazardous areas with ATEX, IECEx, and NEMA 4X certifications. They operate in temperatures from -65°C to +130°C for hazardous areas and -60°C to +130°C for non-hazardous areas.

Features

Wide operating temperature range (-60°C to +130°C)
Ingress protection up to IP67
Fire resistant to IEC331
Impact resistant > 7Nm
UV resistant
UL, CSA, IEC Ex, ATEX, InMetro, and TR CU approvals
Ideal for petrochemical and marine applications

Accessories and Options
A variety of accessories are available, including earth continuity plates, earth studs, tamper-proof screws, external hinges, and more. Care must be taken to ensure compliance with certification when ordering accessories for hazardous areas.

Technical Specifications
The document provides detailed specifications for each enclosure size, including dimensions, weight, and material options. It also includes terminal population data and drilling envelope dimensions.

Conclusion
The BPG range of glass reinforced polyester enclosures offers robust protection and versatility for a wide range of industrial and hazardous applications, with comprehensive certification and customization options.

Specifications Overview
This document provides technical specifications for a range of glass reinforced polyester enclosures designed for hazardous and industrial areas. These enclosures are certified for use in various hazardous zones and comply with multiple international standards.

Material and Construction
The enclosures are made from either Glass Reinforced Polyester (RAL7001 grey) or Carbon Loaded Glass Reinforced Polyester (Black). They are designed to withstand temperatures ranging from -65°C to +130°C in hazardous areas and -70°C to +130°C in non-hazardous areas.

Protection and Certification
The enclosures offer a protection degree of IP66 or IP67 and are certified under ATEX & IECEx for Zones 1 & 2, and Zones 21 & 22. They also meet TR CU and NEMA 4X (CSA, UL & FM) Class 1 Division 2 standards.

Power and Terminal Specifications
The power ratings for the enclosures vary, with examples including 9.260W, 10.500W, and up to 18.338W. The document details the maximum terminal populations for different configurations, including Weidmuller, Entrelec, and Wago terminals.

Enclosure Dimensions and Technical Drawings
Each enclosure model, such as BPG4.5/BPGc4.5, BPG5/BPGc5, and so on, is provided with specific dimensions in millimeters for width, length, and depth, along with their respective weights. Technical drawings are included, showing dimensions in both millimeters and decimal inches.

Installation Considerations
The document emphasizes the importance of ensuring that the enclosures can accommodate the cable bending radius and that the earth stud and entry location allow for the required number of terminals to be fitted. Standard gland clearances are used, and drilling envelope dimensions are provided.

Applications
These enclosures are suitable for use in both hazardous and industrial areas, providing robust protection and compliance with international safety standards.

Glass Reinforced Polyester Enclosures The BPG range comprises 16 sizes of enclosure manufactured in glass reinforced polyester (GRP). This material is highly resistant to contamination from oils, fats, aliphatic and aromatic carbohydrates, bacteria and enzymes. It is also suitable for LSOH (low smoke zero halogen) applications. Polyester gives excellent mechanical strength and life expectancy. The wall thickness is sufficient to allow tapped entry holes to be machined in the walls of the enclosure and it provides a very good alternative to aluminium or cast iron. Due to the enclosure's labyrinth...
