‘Flameproof’

A Processingtalk guide

Start with the news release K Controls supplies position monitors to refinery from K Controls, which we summarised at the time by saying "K Controls has supplied a major UK refinery with 160 stainless-steel position monitors for retrofitting to a variety of different rotary and linear valve actuators. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Rotameter RAMC gains explosive-area certification from Yokogawa UK: "The Yokogawa Rotameter RAMC flowmeter has been certified for use in areas with a risk of gas and dust explosions.".
 
In March 2009, we covered the news from Trimec Europe - take a look at Trimec unveils explosion-proof housing which says: "Trimec Europe has introduced an Exd explosion-proof housing option that can be specified for its range of field-mounted flow instruments.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Michell Instruments, XTP-600Y analyses oxygen at trace levels, as well as Presentations and new products at PELive from ProcessEngineering Live! 2009, and Secomak releases Clustajet ventilator from Secomak.
