What is the difference between a Dust Ignition Proof and a Flame Proof enclosure?
A. The design of a Dust Ignition Proof (DIP) enclosure must prevent the ingress of dust into the enclosure, which may cause a hazardous situation. A Flame Proof (FP) enclosure, also sometimes known as an explosion proof enclosure, must prevent the escape of a flame from within the enclosure to atmosphere. From an assembly perspective, these two enclosures are identical other than a neoprene gasket that is assembled between the mating flanges of the DIP enclosure. This gasket is designed to prevent the ingress of dust. An FP enclosure does not use a gasket, instead the flame path is controlled by a regulated clearance between the mating flanges as specified by EN50014, EN50018, and UL. The DIP and FP enclosures carry separate approvals and the two kinds of enclosures cannot be used interchangeably.
