PETROLEUM DIRECTORY: MEDC introduces new heavy duty equipment for hazardous locations

MEDC said Jan. 28 that it has launched a new series of heavy duty UL listed control panels and junction and terminal boxes designed for potentially explosive atmospheres in both onshore and offshore applications.

The new MEDC control stations, “suitable for applications in areas requiring Class 1, Division 2, Groups A-D (North American method) and Class 1, Zone 1 ATEX IIC ratings, offer a full range of pushbuttons, indicator lights, rotary switches and other options and are made of corrosive-free, UV-stable heavy duty glass reinforced polyester with an ingress protection rating of NEMA 4x (IP66).”

MEDC said the junction and terminal boxes and control panels can be integrated with its other GRP devices, such as status lights, strobes and horns, “for an entirely corrosive-free alarm notification installation for potentially explosive atmospheres” onshore and offshore.

The company’s safety devices and equipment are used in a number of hazardous locations around the world, including Europe, Asia, Africa, Indonesia and North America.
