Abtech SX Stainless Steel Enclosures & Junction Boxes
Hazardous Areas, Zones 1 & Zones 2 - ATEX Certified
The Abtech SX range of stainless steel enclosures and junction boxes includes 14 sizes manufactured in either 316 stainless steel or mild steel. Abtech SX hazardous area stainless steel enclosures and junction boxes are available in standard depths of 140, 200 or 300mm and can be fitted with removable cable gland plates and client approved terminals.
Abtech SX range of stainless steel enclosures and junction boxes were specifically designed to meet the rigors of the North Sea and are capable of achieving IP66, IP67 and IP68 ingress protection. SX hazardous area electrical enclosures have passed the Shell/ERA deluge test, devised to test enclosures and electrical equipment that is routinely subjected to ships decks conditions or fire deluge systems for marine and offshore applications.
Abtech SX Stainless Steel Enclosures & Junction Boxes, Features : Wide operating temperature (-70 to +175 degrees Celsius), Ingress protection to IP68 (submersible to 120ft), Fire resistant to IEC331, Corrosion resistant, Hazardous area approved.
Hazardous Area Certified Stainless Steel Enclosures & Junction Boxes : Abtech SX enclosures and junction boxes carry global hazardous area certifications - ATEX EEx'e' to BSEN50019 (Zone 1 & 2), EEX'nA' to BSEN50021 (Zone 2), NEMA 4X (CSA, UL & FM Class 1 Div 2) and GOST.
Fire Resistant Stainless Steel Enclosures & Junction Boxes : Abtech SX enclosures can be upgraded for fire resistance applications when fitted with ceramic terminals meeting the requirement of IEC331 (750 degrees Celsius for 3 hours) and BS6387/1983 (950 degrees Celsius for 3 hours).
Fire Rated, LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen LSF) Junction Box Enclosures IEC 331
(750°C for 3 hours) & BS6387 (950°C for 3 hours - Flame Only)
Fire Rated Electrical Enclosures - Mild, Stainless Steel, GRP
When installing essential electrical systems such as emergency lighting or fire safety controls, great emphasis is placed upon the fire survivability of the critical components such as fire dampers, actuators and cables that are contained in the area. Often the specification of the junction boxes and enclosures is neglected with respect to fire resistance and survival. On the basis that any system is only as good as the weakest part, it is important that attention is paid to the junction boxes being utilised for essential systems.
Abtech ensure the fire survival of junction boxes using both the SX (stainless steel enclosure) and BPG (GRP enclosure) ranges.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

The SX range comprises 14 sizes of enclosure
manufactured in either mild steel or stainless
steel. 11 sizes are available in depths of 140 or
200mm and 8 sizes are available in depths of
140, 200 or 300mm. The majority of the range
can be fitted with removable gland plates on
any or all of the four sides. The mild steel
version (MSX) is available with a number of
paint options (most RAL colours are available)
and anti-corrosion finishes. Further advice on
surface finishes can be sought from the
ABTECH sales office.
The stainless steel range (SSX) is
manufactured in 316 grade stainless steel to
give the maximum environmental protection.
The main body is manufactured from 2mm
thick sheet and the mounting straps and
gland plates from 3mm thick plate. Cable
entries can be drilled in the enclosure door or
sides or through the gland plates, if fitted.
Entries may also be drilled through the rear
face of the enclosure (EEx’e’ versions also.)
Another important feature of the SX range is
the hinged, lift-off door, which is held to the
enclosure by at least 4 captive stainless steel
screws, which also maintain the correct
compression on the gasket. The hinges are
solid block, machined oversize to enable the
screws to control the closing of the door, not
the hinge, its only function being to support the
door when opened. The hinges allow easy
removal of the door with only minimal opening
required before removal (less than 10°).
Earthing is accomplished by means of an
Internal / external earth stud fitted as standard
which can be connected to the terminal
mounting rail or component mounting plate.
Optionally, earth studs can be fitted to
the door and gland plates. Rail mounted
earth terminals or proprietary earth bars can
be fitted inside the enclosure and ABTECH
Sales staff will be happy to advise on this.
When fitted with a standard neoprene
gasket, the enclosure is suitable for ambient
temperatures of - 40°C to + 80°C. Alternatively,
when fitted with an optional silicone gasket the
temperature range is increased to - 70°C to to
+ 130°C.
The SX range of enclosures are suitable for
use in hazardous areas and can be supplied
with a number of certificates. ATEX EEx‘e’ to
BS EN 50019 (Zone 1 & 2) EEx‘nA’ to BS
EN50021 (Zone 2) and NEMA 4X (CSA, UL &
FM class 1, div 2) and GOST.
The SX range can be supplied fitted with any
component approved terminal to apparatus
level or can be supplied empty as component
approved for the clients own certification
requirements.

The SX range was specifically designed to
meet the rigours of the North Sea environment
and is capable of achieving IP66 and IP67. It
has also undergone and passed the Shell/ERA
deluge test which was devised to adequately
test enclosures and electrical equipment which
is routinely subjected to ships deck conditions
or fire deluge systems.
IP68 enclosures are also available for depths
up to 120 ft to special order. Further
information on submersible enclosures is
available in Section 8 of this catalogue.
The SX range has many features which lend
itself to a wide variety applications, not least of
which is the ability to be constructed to almost
any dimension due to its fabricated nature. This
can also be applied to EEx‘e’ enclosures
where the certification allows oversize
enclosures to be manufactured whilst retaining
the next smallest sized enclosure’s power
rating.
The SX range is also suitable for fire resistance
applications and when fitted with ceramic
terminals meets the requirements of IEC 331
(750°C for 3 hours) and also BS6387/1983
(950°C for 3 hours). Further details are
available in Section 6 of this catalogue.
