ABSTRACT:
Thread joints in explosion-proof electrical fixtures for hazardous areas must relieve the momentary pressure from an internal explosion without flame propagation to the exterior. Ordinary paint on the threads cannot be used due to variations in thickness which alter the flow characteristics and the cooling effects. The invention provides a dense, pinhole-free paint layer uniform in thickness within .+-.15% which can be achieved by electrodeposition. Such a coating facilitates assembly and inhibits deterioration of the clearance path through corrosion but has only a minor effect on the venting relief.
