Hazardous area engineering, like any technical application, is founded on fundamental principles and rules of practice.
The three main applications are founded upon the three-letter acronym, I.E.C.
Identification
The first step in safety engineering is “hazard identification.” A hazard is anything that has the potential to cause harm. (Read More)
The main reasons for this are to ensure the reliability of the instrument, that it can be trusted. To determine the accuracy of the instrument and to ensure the readings are consistent with other measurements.
Considering the costs arising from legal action for damages that might be filed against you, the expenses for proper calibration and adjustment are minor in comparison. Companies who take their responsibility seriously and wish to establish long-term business relationships therefore need to calibrate their equipment regularly. It could also void your warranty if your instrument is not calibrated.
The METPOINT FLM flow meter measures the compressed air volume flow, which is the basis for accurate consumption analyses for cost reduction and effective energy management. METPOINT FLM sensors reliably detect leakage, overloads and malfunctions. Based on the analysis of the sensor data, the components of the compressed air system can be adjusted for optimum efficiency.
The business operates in accordance with the ATEX directive which defines the mandatory requirements for manufacturers and users of all hazardous area equipment sold in (but not restricted to) the European Union which must have applicable ATEX certificates. (Read More)
The High Cost of Exposing Workers to Chemicals at Point of Use
The tip-and-pour method, as well as poorly designed pumps, can expose workers to injury and companies to significant financial losses.
In the manufacturing of plastics, workers often transfer potentially hazardous liquid additives such as plasticizers, colorants, dyes, lubricants, antimicrobials, and flame retardants into smaller containers, vessels, or directly into tanks or machinery. (Read More)
