We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Explosion-proof",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Processingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Display instruments and controllers at HazardEx from
Fluidwell UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "At Hazardex, visit Fluidwell on Stand G2 to see their wide range of display instruments and controllers for flow, pressure, temperature or level in both safe and hazardous environments".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release MTL joins Cooper Crouse-Hinds for GBP140M from
Industrial Automation INSIDER: "The latest issue of the INSIDER presents the story and background to the Cooper Industries GBP140m agreed bid for MTL, a deal that will bring down the curtain on 37 years of independence".
In December 2007, we covered the news from PVL
concerning its Switch catalogue
- take a look at There's a lot of switches in stock at PVL
which says: "Anybody needing any switch for pressure, vacuum, level, flow, or temperature, should take a look at the PVL catalogues".
Take a look also at the news release from Enraf Fluid Technology, Honeywell Process Solutions acquires Enraf,
as well as ABB receives E1.5M motors and drives order for UAE from ABB Automation Tech (Drives and Motors),
and K-Tek SureShot smart laser level transmitter is Ex from K-Tek.
