Functions of Security Cabinets
The main function of a safety cabinet is the protection provided by the modules from unwanted contact of hazardous substances (solid or liquid), in case of fire, for a defined period of time and the storage capacity they provide.
Since, cabinets must be capable of the necessary ventilation, in the presence of containers not hermetically closed, especially with substances, volatile mixtures, etc.; in order to reduce the odor, since the ventilation system, should keep the cabinet in depression. Likewise, the doors must be equipped with an automatic closing device, for when the ambient temperature reaches 50 °C.
Likewise, the height must not exceed 1.75 meters and the shelves must be tray type, to hold possible losses of liquids, caused by damage or accidental breakage of the containers. In the same way, the bottom tank must always be present, to collect accidental losses of liquids, not retained by the tray-type shelves, and even, the capacity must be at least 10% of the volume of all the containers contained in the cabinet, or at least 110% of the volume of the largest container.
Finally, the cabinets are supplied with a grounding, which must be connected to the laying of the electrical installation, to prevent electrostatic discharges.
