SVEX-CD-Z Explosion Proof Dome Camera Housing for Hazardous Environments
The SVEX-CD-Z Explosion Proof Dome Camera Housing is a rugged, stainless-steel enclosure engineered to protect surveillance equipment in environments where explosive gases or combustible dusts pose a constant threat. Fully certified for ATEX and IECEx compliance and crafted from 304 or 316L stainless steel, this dome-style housing is built for long-term operation in oil refineries, chemical plants, offshore rigs, and other regulated industrial zones. Its compact design, robust sealing, and superior environmental resistance make it an ideal solution for integrating fixed surveillance cameras in explosive atmospheres.Certified Safety in Explosive Zones
The SVEX-CD-Z is rated Ex db IIC T6 Gb / Ex tb IIIC T80°C Db, meaning it is approved for use in Zone 1 and Zone 2 gas environments, as well as Zone 21 and Zone 22 dust environments. These classifications cover a wide range of hazardous applications involving flammable vapors, gases, and airborne dust particles. The housing has undergone strict testing under international explosion protection directives and adheres to the ATEX and IECEx certification standards, making it suitable for global deployments. Crafted from high-grade 304 or 316L stainless steel, the enclosure resists corrosion from salt, chemicals, and industrial pollutants. Customers can opt for an electro-polished finish for enhanced smoothness and corrosion resistance or choose a corrosion-resistant painted coating depending on the specific application. With an IP68 ingress protection rating, the SVEX-CD-Z is fully sealed against dust and capable of withstanding continuous immersion in water, providing assurance in even the most demanding weather or washdown conditions.Built to Endure Harsh Conditions
This dome housing is built to perform in harsh and unpredictable conditions. It supports a wide range of environmental tolerances, ensuring your camera system remains operational in critical operations:- Operating Temperature: -40°C to +60°C (-40°F to +140°F)
- Storage Temperature: -40°C to +60°C
- Humidity Tolerance: Up to 95% relative humidity (non-condensing)
- Atmospheric Pressure Range: 80 kPa to 106 kPa (11.6 PSI to 15.37 PSI)
Dome Housing Design for Flexible Integration
The SVEX-CD-Z is a dome-style housing specifically engineered to house fixed network cameras in hazardous locations. It includes a ceiling mount bracket for secure overhead installation and is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. The internal space accommodates a wide range of fixed lens or box-style cameras, enabling installers to adapt existing surveillance technologies to regulated environments without compromise. The housing’s compact footprint, just 144mm in diameter and 245mm in height (including ceiling mount), makes it an excellent choice for installations in space-restricted or cluttered areas, such as tank farms, offshore platforms, and interior processing rooms. Despite its compact design, it weighs a solid 6.4 kg (14.1 lbs.), contributing to a secure, vibration-resistant mount.Ideal Applications
The SVEX-CD-Z Explosion Proof Dome Camera Housing is purpose-built for high-risk and regulated environments where standard surveillance equipment cannot be used safely. It is ideal for:- Oil refineries and petrochemical plants
- Offshore drilling platforms and FPSOs
- Natural gas processing and storage facilities
- Grain silos, flour mills, and food production plants
- Fireworks and explosive manufacturing sites
- Chemical storage depots and mixing facilities
- Industrial painting booths and solvent areas
