ATEX became a harmonised standard across Europe in July 2003, stipulating stringent requirements for the electrical components of instruments used in hazardous areas, where even the slightest spark could cause a devastating explosion.
The new range of flow and level switches features switch heads certified to ATEX Directive 94/9/EC, married to a wide variety of mechanical flow control bodies.
The products provide intrinsic safety level protection by limiting energy and temperature and minimising the risk of arcing.
As such the products may be used in Safety zones 0, 1 and 2, in application areas such as offshore platforms, petrochemical plants, mines, flour mills and other areas where a potentially explosive atmosphere may be present. Request a free brochure from PVL ...
