Explosion protection (ATEX)

©Endress+Hauser

Flammable and potentially explosive substances such as gases, vapors, mists and dusts occur in many areas of the chemical and petrochemical industry. Ignition of these substances can lead to severe personal injury and damage to property.Devices used in these areas must not cause any sources of ignition. Compliance with globally standardized types of protection ensures that no ignition sources arise during normal operation or when internal device failures occur.

Endress+Hauser offer an extensive range of explosion-proof measuring devices as well as attractive services. The range of services for flow, level, pressure, temperature, and analysis measurements opens up application areas in gases and dusts.The measuring devices are certified for the most critical gas groups and temperatures. Intrinsically safe two-wire devices are available for the first time for all of the main measurement methods in the area of flow measuring technology.

High level of operational safety and cost-effective implementation

The "Intrinsic safety" type of protection guarantees a high level of operational safety and cost-effective implementation of explosion protection

• Consistent Ex ia concept with double fault safety

• High-quality and cost-effective explosion protection is guaranteed already in the engineering
  phase during device selection and verification of intrinsic safety

• Time-saving operational audits as per German Industrial Safety Regulations (BetrSichV)

• Easy and safe maintenance/service/repair/device exchange possible during operation without "spark permit"

• International approvals (IECEx, ATEX, CSA, FM, NEPSI, and many more) with various types of protection (Ex ia, Ex d, Ex nA)

• High level of flexibility and safety in practical applications thanks to modular spare parts and repair concept that meets Ex-specific requirements

• Reduced costs due to uniform spare parts in storage
