Renowned for the quality of their ATEX certified cable glands and hazardous connection products, Hawke International, has now received a suite of five IECEx certificates from BASEEFA. This opens the door for dual marking.

Hazardous area connection specialist, Hawke International has achieved type approvals for its complete range of hazardous area cable glands from Det Norske Veritas (DNV). One of the world’s leading marine classification societies, DNV provide a range of testing, certification and technical services for risk reduction in marine and offshore operations.

The latest range of enclosures from Hawke International is designed to meet the exacting needs of the offshore, petrochemical and gas industries. Electricity in these industries is vital to production, but needs handling with great care in all situations. The potential mix of unprotected electrical equipment with hazardous explosive gas, salt spray, persistent humidity and temperature extremes could pose dangers to life and process continuity.

The international oil and gas industry is dependent on accurate and timely technical information from a network of global engineering and electrical suppliers. Rising to this challenge, Hawke International, the hazardous area connectors and cable glands specialist, has re-engineered their web site - passing every page with the W3C XHTML 1.0 ‘Strict’ validation tool.

There are two opportunities to see Hawke International's ranges of Ex-certified electrical termination and connection products at Offshore Europe 2007. The company will exhibit a full range of certified products alongside two Hubbell International companies, Chalmit Lighting and Victor Lighting. The displays include cable glands, connectors and enclosures, all engineered to secure and protect electrical installations in potentially explosive and hazardous areas.

Connectors for higher power ranges have been introduced by Hawke International. The new PowerEx series will compliment their existing ControlEx and InstrumEx connectors to complete the family of connectors to meet every need in the oil and gas industries. The new connectors are easy to install, robust and suitable for applications with both control and power equipment.

Hazardous area cable gland and electrical connector specialist, Hawke International, has achieved significant approvals for their product range from the relevant Russian and Chinese authorities. The ControlEx flameproof range of connectors for use in hazardous areas has achieved GOST-R certification, allowing for their use in the Russian territories, which is of ever increasing importance within the oil and gas market.

Ensuring reliable power and signal connections to portable instruments is a challenge for manufacturers, especially where dampness and explosive gasses may be present. Fern Communications has overcome this on their FRX1 radio signal repeater with the use of InstrumEx connectors from Hawke International.

FP360 sc highly sensitive UV fluorometer detects smallest traces of oil in water.

Even the smallest oil traces impair water quality. The FP 360 sc monitors surface water, process water and industrial water continuously for traces of mineral oil contamination. The highly sensitive UV fluorometer is immersed directly in the medium.
