A flameproof enclosure’s effectiveness stems from its ability to contain flames within, naxa ugqabhuko-dubulo lwenzeka ngaphakathi kwibhokisi yezixhobo zombane. Esi sithintelo siqinisekiswa ngokuthintela amadangatye ukuba abaleke kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo ezidibeneyo.
Ukuthotyelwa kwemigangatho ethile malunga nesikhewu, ubude, and surface roughness of these joints is crucial. These gaps not only extinguish the flames but also cool them effectively.
