Are your welders explosion-proof? Do you have explosion-proof welding machines?

What is the significance of explosion protection for welding machines? With the welding in progress, what’s there to worry about regarding explosions?

I agree with what was said above, but when welding is allowed in a certain area, as long as the welder is placed within that area, what difference does it make whether there are explosion-proof measures in place or not? I think the only difference is that the cost of explosion-proof welding machines is twice that of ordinary ones! I’ve never heard of the term \"explosion-proof welding machine\" either.

:lol:lol:lol The reviewer said that the welding machine is not explosion-proof and does not meet the fire and explosion prevention requirements. The person in charge of reviewing is really outrageous.

Does the reviewer mean that since the site does not meet the conditions for working with fire, welding cannot be used, and other methods must be found?

There really isn’t any. Is that reviewer from the security department? It’s easy to talk when you’re standing.

Making welding machines explosion-proof is completely pointless

I just saw this question and really found it strange: I have indeed never encountered such a situation! I searched for \"explosion-proof welding machines\" online, and indeed such machines exist; however, they are generally used in mining. In my opinion, the explosion protection mentioned here refers primarily to explosion protection for the internal structure of the welding machine as well as its contacts; it does not refer to explosion protection for the welding torch (as we all know, sparks are generated whenever the welding torch is in use)! ! ! During regular work, the welding machine and the area where welding is carried out are often not in the same place; I hadn’t noticed that before. I really need to pay more attention to this going forward! But it seems that there are no mandatory regulations in this regard for hot work in chemical enterprises! That’s a bit much! I hope everyone will participate actively in the discussion!

You can ask him if there are explosion-proof lighters and matches

Learned* it； So there are also explosion-proof welding machines

Making welding machines explosion-proof is very expensive. Since work involving fire is allowed, it means that the area is safe. Sometimes safety needs to be taken into account along with practical considerations; it’s impossible to get anything done by focusing only on regulations without considering reality. If the welder is not explosion-proof, adjustments can be made online by placing the welder outside the explosion-proof area and extending the welding cable, as long as the length does not exceed 30 meters.
