Peter: We make products used in among other environments, refineries. Products for this market are packaged in explosion proof housings. It is my understanding that the explosion proof housing along with the conduit servicing is completely isolated from the atmosphere via substantial gaskets, seals O rings etc. Having said that, explosion proof housings have ratings for different environments, I don't have the specs in front of me but I do remember that acetylene and other gaseous environments had higher ratings due to corrosive properties. For the European market there are also, Cenelec approved housings. I myself will be looking into these soon also.
Hope this helps.

What are the requirements for electronics used in refueling operations -- either gasoline or diesel. Is this always a hazardous location? What separation issues exist from other connected electronics also used there? What specific certifications are applicable -- both in North America and Europe?
