Enclosure, All GRP

Intertec, a field instrumentation protection specialist, offers an All-GRP Enclosure that eliminates all metal parts, for housing outdoor equipment operating in extremely corrosive operating conditions. The enclosure is made from GRP – glass reinforced polyester – a material offering intrinsically high resistance against the corrosive media and environmental conditions found in many field protection applications. Metal components on the external surfaces of the enclosure can corrode quickly in aggressive environments such as offshore and coastal plants in oil, gas and chemical, power generation and other processing industries. Intertec’s field enclosures are made from GRP, but are typically fitted with a number of metal parts such as hinges, clasps, nuts and bolts, made from 316 stainless steel. However, to meet a request from a customer building instrumentation systems for emissions monitoring in a petrochemical refinery, an application that can be exposed to extremely corrosive atmospheres, Intertec has developed a version of its Multibox outdoor enclosure with nuts, bolts, clasps, hinges and other accessories fabricated entirely from GRP. Suitable for mounting vertically or horizontally, there are nine standard sizes available providing instrumentation and control engineers with a range of volumes from 25 to 277 litres (0.88 to 9.78 cubic feet). The two enclosure pieces can be fitted with hinges and clasps, or left separate and joined together using only clasps.
