IEC 60903 Insulating Gloves

 

Thorne & Derrick landed another new order for 110 pairs of Catu insulating gloves to IEC 60903 from the UK representative of the Ras Gas Company Limited (Doha, Qatar).

IEC 60903 insulating gloves from Catu Electrical provide the essential electrical safety choice when evaluating insulating gloves. The insulating gloves offer personal protection against electrical shocks to cable contractors, cable jointers, moling contractors, overhead linesmen, substation and switchgear engineers.

Catu Dexteri+ Electrical Insulating Gloves are tested to arc flash standard IEC61482-1-2 class 2.

• Before Use - inflate the insulating gloves with air in order to detect potential faults, carry out thorough visual inspection.
• Precautions - avoid contact with petrols, oils, greases, acids or corrosive products. Do not use insulating gloves if wet.
• Care - to get the best service from insulating gloves ensure that after use all contaminant is removed - wash insulating gloves with soap and water.
• Caution - the life span of insulating gloves whether used or in storage is limited. Standard EN60903 : 2003 recommends a periodic inspection, electric retesting or periodic replacement.

Project Spotlight:

RasGas Company Limited is a liquefied natural gas (LNG) producing company in Qatar, the second-biggest LNG producer in the world after Qatargas. RasGas operates seven LNG trains located in Ras Laffan Industrial City. The Catu insulating gloves are to be worn by all operatives and electricians working on the drilling platform to supply the Barzan Gas plant. The gas plant will be located 80 kilometres north-east of Ras Laffan Industrial City, with onshore and offshore facilities to be completed by JGC of Japan and Hyundai Heavy Industries of South Korea respectively.

The major project itself will be developed in two phases: Train 1 will come on stream in 2014, with Train 2 following in 2015. Together they will supply around 1.4 billion standard cubic feet per day of sales gas. Much of this production will be directed to the power and water sector. When Barzan Gas Trains 1 and 2 are in operation, the total offshore production from all RasGas-operated facilities will reach around 11 billion standard cubic feet per day (the equivalent of almost 2 million barrels of oil), making RasGas the largest gas producer in Qatar.

Video : Ras Laffan Industrial City (RLC) Documentary - This is the latest documentary on Ras Laffan Industrial City (RLC), the base for all onshore operations to support the development and utilization of Qatar's North Field gas assets. Located 80 kilometres northeast of Doha, RLC commenced operations in 1996 and has evolved since then into a world-class industrial city, facilitating the needs of the most technologically sophisticated natural gas-based industries.
