FAQ - Frequently asked questions about cabinets in steel plate
When should you choose a cabinet in steel plate?
Choose cabinets in steel plate when installing in:
- dry and controlled indoor environments
- industrial environments without aggressive chemical influences
- applications where high mechanical stability is required
- installations requiring easy assembly and future expansion
Sheet metal cabinets are often used as electrical cabinets in industrial facilities where standardized solutions are fully sufficient.
When are materials other than sheet metal more suitable?
Cabinets in steel plate work well in many industrial environments, but are not always the best choice when the environment places special demands on materials and surface protection.
Other materials may be more suitable when:
- the installation is exposed to moisture, condensation or outdoor environment
- cleaning is done with water or chemically aggressive agents
- high requirements for corrosion resistance or hygiene exist
- the application requires stainless or acid-resistant design
In these environments, it is often chosen cabinets in stainless steel or plastic boxes to ensure long life and stable operation over time.
Sheet metal or stainless steel equipment cabinets – what should you choose?
The choice between sheet steel and stainless steel cabinets is primarily about the environment and lifespan:
- sheet metal is sufficient in dry and normal industrial environments
- stainless steel is required for moisture, chemicals or hygiene requirements
Here you can compare against ↖ cabinets in stainless steel if the environment places higher demands than sheet metal can handle.
Can cabinets in steel plate be used outdoors?
No, cabinets in steel plate are normally intended for indoor environments. For outdoor use, stainless steel or plastic is required.
Which IP class should I choose?
The IP rating determines how well the enclosure protects the equipment against dust and ingress.
- IP65 – protection against dust and light flushing
- IP66 – higher protection against water impact
- varnished sheet metal cabinet provides basic corrosion protection in dry environments
