Flammable Cabinets

Protection of the cabinet’s flammable content is assessed using a well-established measure in the physics of fire safety known as a Fire Resistance (FR) period. FR periods are measured and expressed in minutes. EN14470-1 standards address FR 15, 30, 60 and 90-minute periods. The standards require type test be used to measure existing FR requirements as established by previous ISO and EN standards. Cabinets are classified according to the level of FR determined during testing. The Pure Solv-ENTM is field-tested to meet requirements and is classified as having a 90-minute flammable rating.

The total internal volume of the PureSolv-ENTM cabinet is less than one cubic meter, as required by EN14470-1 standards. All flammable solvents are fully contained in the unit. The standards do not address differences in flammable liquids, such as those based on physical properties. The user must comply with other national regulations in determining the suitability of standards for a particular liquid solvent.
