We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Flameproof",
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 Review of uses for 'Valve Position Transmitters' from
K Controls, which we summarised at the time by saying "Position transmitters are used to monitor the position of modulating control valves or the opening and closing characteristics of critical isolating valves".
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 November 2007, we covered the news from Hawke International UK
concerning its Cable glands to GOST/CQST
- take a look at Russian and Chinese approvals expansion for Hawke
which says: "Hazardous area cable gland and electrical connector specialist, Hawke International, has achieved significant approvals for their product range from the relevant Russian and Chinese authorities".
Take a look also at the news release from Rota Val, Safe valves for plastic powders at 120C,
as well as ATEX and IECEx flexible conduit systems from Kopex from SPECIAL REPORT by the Editor,
and Hazardous area cable management products by Kopex from Kopex International.
