Intrinsically safe industrial sensors for the EX area with approval for India

In the chemical and process industry sectors, explosive atmospheres can occur due to process engineering procedures. An unforeseen ignition of these atmospheres can cause not only property damage but also significant personal injuries. Worldwide safety regulations have been established, which include guidelines to prevent the aforementioned scenario. These include standards and regulations designed to ensure a high level of safety. All electrical components used in explosion hazard areas must therefore have appropriate approvals such as ATEX, IECEx, EAC, etc.

PCB Piezotronics Inc. offers a range of acceleration sensors and vibration transmitters that are approved for use in explosion hazard areas and possess the relevant certifications. Notably, the two sensor models PCB-EX619A11 and PCB-EX682A40 stand out. In addition to ATEX and CSA approvals, these have also received certification for use in the Indian market.
