Kelman EnclosureGrades
By Richard Luke
Kelman online DGA units are often installed in a variety of
areasand environments and this raises questions when quoting.
TheISO 12944-2:1998 standard details corrosivity categories
andrecommends the correct grade of enclosure stainless steel forthe
customers environment and application.
Our standard Kelman enclosure (98% of the equipment shipped)is
made out of 304 stainless steel which covers the majorityof
applications (C1 C3). All the Kelman online machines alsohave a
higher 316L stainless steel grade available, which
coversapplications operating in C4 C5-1. For marine applications
werecommend that the C5-M paint system is used.
Note that in hot and humid coastal areas, the paint mass
orthickness losses can result in becoming lower than the limits
of
category C5-M. Special precautions must therefore be taken
whenselecting protective paint systems for structures in such
areas.
