Reliable Monitoring in Hazardous Environments
Operating in environments where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dusts are present demands robust and reliable monitoring solutions. Chesterton Connect™ IS is designed to ensure safe operation under such conditions, with certifications such as ATEX and IECEx confirming its effectiveness in explosive atmospheres.
Understanding ATEX Zones and IECEx Certification
ATEX Certification: This European directive categorizes environments into zones based on the risk of explosive atmospheres:
- Zone 0/20: High risk – explosive substances are continuously present.
- Zone 1/21: Medium risk – explosive substances are likely to occur during normal operation.
- Zone 2/22: Lower risk – explosive substances are not likely during normal operation.
- Chesterton Connect™ IS is suitable for use in ATEX zones 0, 1, and 2 for gases, and zones 20, 21, and 22 for dusts.
IECEx Certification: This international standard ensures that equipment like Chesterton Connect™ IS is safe to use in explosive atmospheres worldwide, enhancing global compliance and safety assurance.
