Explosion risk assessment also covers non-electrical equipment (eg roller conveyors).
To simplify this process, Sartorius tests the compatibility of all their explosion proof weighing equipment and describes this in 'Verification of Intrinsic Safety' diagrams that are automatically supplied when the equipment is delivered.
These diagrams consider all combinations described for the approved equipment so that customers can use the appropriate set of Verification of Intrinsic Safety diagrams and instructions as part of their own explosion protection documents.
The new site also contains a number of useful PDF downloads, including a guide to assist companies in creating their own explosion protection documents.
It also contains extensive details of the products Sartorius can offer for use in hazardous areas, including scales, load cells, platforms and process controllers.
The new site can be found via the main website and the PDF Guide to Preparing Explosion Documents can be downloaded from there. Request a free brochure from Sartorius UK ...
