ATEX zertifizierte Messtechnik
Why explosion protection?
- In many industries, gases, vapors or mists, but also dust, escape during the production, processing, transport and storage of flammable substances.
- These flammable gases, vapors, mists and dusts, when mixed with the oxygen in the air, form an explosive atmosphere.
- Measuring products are often used in process monitoring (= possible ignition sources).
- If this atmosphere ignites, explosions will occur which can cause serious personal injury and property damage.
Areas at risk of explosion are divided into zones and indicated with probability of occurrence
