Hobart Adds New Options To Welding Glove Line

Hobart has added four glove products to its line of protective welding apparel, including form-fitted MIG gloves, premium welding/multi-use gloves, premium work/multi-use gloves and a value pack. The value pack contains a pair of mechanics gloves and a pair of welding gloves. The gloves feature heavy-duty stitching, top-quality leather and ergonomic design at an affordable price, according to Hobart.

Form-fitted MIG welding gloves feature a patent-pending design that fits the contours of the hand for comfort and manoeuvrability. They are lined with a flame-retardant cotton fleece and feature an indented foam back with perforated leather for maximum breathability as well as a flame-retardant canvas duck cuff to protect the wrist and lower forearm. The gloves are sewn using Kevlar thread for high durability.

Premium weld/multi-use gloves are designed for welding and general-purpose metalworking applications. They are made from a combination of top-grain cowhide and pigskin to provide comfort and durability. The gloves are unlined and feature an adjustable wrist strap. They are sewn with Kevlar thread and offer a padded palm and reinforced thumb area. Premium work/multi-use gloves feature a padded palm and reinforced thumb area.

They are made with genuine US deerskin and are suitable for a variety of uses. These are the same gloves that are offered in the value pack; they are not intended for welding. The value pack contains two pairs of Hobart's economy welding gloves and one pair of the premium work/multi-use gloves. Hobart's economy welding gloves feature split-leather construction with finger welting and a light cotton lining.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
