The new i.safe MOBILE RSM sets a benchmark for industrial use in Ex zone 1/21

In explosive atmosphere environments across the oil and gas industry, reliable communication equipment that meets stringent safety standards is paramount. The newly introduced i.safe MOBILE IS-RSM3x.1 series of Remote Speaker Microphones (RSMs) sets a new benchmark for communication technology certified for Ex-Zone 1/21 classified areas.

The new RSM features two distinct models: the IS-RSM3A.1 wired version, which integrates with i.safe MOBILE devices featuring the 16-pin ISM interface, and the IS-RSM3B.1 Bluetooth® model, compatible with standard Bluetooth®enabled industrial equipment. Both units carry ATEX/IECEx certification essential for deployment where flammable gases, vapors, and combustible dust create potentially explosive atmospheres.

The technical architecture delivers exceptional audio performance with a powerful speaker capable of reaching 103 dB. Dual microphones enable intelligent passive noise cancellation, while an integrated Digital Signal Processor actively minimizes background noise in real-time, ensuring clear communication even in environments where industrial noise regularly exceeds 85 dB.

Field-Proven Application Scenarios

Maintenance technicians on offshore platforms benefit significantly from the Bluetooth® IS-RSM3B.1 model. Workers can secure their primary communication devices while maintaining continuous communication through the RSM attached to their PPE. During critical maintenance procedures, this configuration enables hands-free communication with control room personnel without compromising safety protocols or equipment integrity.

When conducting inspection rounds in processing units where potentially explosive vapors create Zone 1 environments, the programmable interface buttons allow for immediate Push-to-Talk functionality or emergency alerts without requiring glove removal. The superior noise cancellation technology ensures clear transmission even in proximity to high-noise equipment such as compressors and pumps, maintaining critical communication channels in challenging acoustic environments.

During petrochemical emergency scenarios, the programmable red button can be configured for immediate SOS activation, while the device's robust IP68 construction withstands exposure to harsh environmental conditions. The extended battery capacity ensures communication remains functional throughout prolonged emergency operations, providing critical coordination capabilities when they are most essential.

Engineered for Industrial Practicality

Weighing just 205 grams, the IS-RSM3x.1 features an ergonomic design with intuitive button placement for operation even with heavy-duty chemical-resistant gloves. The device includes a reinforced clip for secure attachment to safety clothing, while the exchangeable 2200 mAh battery offers extended operational life for long shifts in hazardous environments.

Additional connectivity options include an 8-pin ISM interface for connecting certified headsets within hazardous areas, while the NFC chip in the Bluetooth® version enables efficient pairing in field conditions.

Through implementation of these advanced communication systems, petrochemical operations can enhance both safety compliance and operational efficiency in Zone 1/21 classified areas where conventional communication technologies present unacceptable risk profiles.

ATEX – why you should be worried

TPI_May.jpeg

If you are even asking yourself the question “should I be worried about explosive atmospheres (ATEX)” then the answer is most probably “yes”. The Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations (DSEAR) require employers to control the risks to safety from fire, explosions and substances corrosive to metals. This places the onus firmly on you!

It is well understood that equipment for use in more obvious hazardous locations such as flour mills, coal mines, petrochemical plants and fuel transfer facilities, needs to be certified “intrinsically safe”. However, hazardous locations also include places like water treatment plants, tunnels and underground passageways or any location where a build-up of naturally occurring flammable material (such as methane or dust) could occur.

Most people are familiar with the definitions of ATEX ‘Zones’. Put simply, Zone 0 means an explosive atmosphere is very likely and Zone 2 means it is unlikely, with Zone 1 being the “grey area” in between. It is easy enough to identify from its markings whether a particular piece of equipment is suitable for a particular Zone, e.g. Ex ia for Zone 0, Ex ib for Zone 1 and Ex ic for Zone 2. However, what is not so obvious is identifying which locations in your plant are in which Zones.

As if the issue of Zones wasn’t enough, there is also the consideration of which gases are likely to be encountered. For example, equipment marked as Group IIB must not be used in Zones with hydrogen or acetylene likely to be present. Those gases would require at least Group IIC certification.

graph_1_TPI.jpeg

Then there is also consideration of the equipment’s temperature classification, which specifies the maximum surface temperature that could arise due to a fault. For example, equipment coded T2 could potentially get hot enough to ignite gasoline! However, an equipment coding of T4 is generally considered acceptable, being safe for all gases apart from Carbon Disulfide, which requires T6.

The TPI 9085Ex features on-meter analysis for the detection of machinery faults such as unbalance, misalignment, looseness and bearing wear. With full colour OLED display and Bluetooth communications, the TPI 9085Ex also features colour coded alarms and zoomable on-screen vibration frequency plots with cursor readout. It can store lists (routes) of up to 1000 machines, each with up to 10 measurement points, with full waveform and frequency spectrum (FFT) capture. Uniquely, the TPI 9085Ex delivers high level functionality and capability, including instantaneous bearing temperature measurement, all at very low cost.

The included free-to-use VibTrend PC-based trending and reporting software features high-end benefits such as automatic email notification of alarms and report generation, to implement a full Condition Based Maintenance strategy.  Routes and readings can easily be transferred to/from the TPI 9085Ex via Bluetooth using a smart phone or tablet running the free TPI Bridge App. This allows service personnel to be sent routes and return readings, no matter where they are in the world.

Driving Workplace Safety Forward MSA Safety Sparks Industry Conversation on Improving Worker Safety

In a crucial step toward enhancing workplace safety, MSA Safety brought together a diverse group of industry experts to address the stagnation in reducing workplace accidents and fatalities.

With Health and Safety Executive (HSE), Great Britain’s national regulator for workplace health and safety, highlighting that UK statistics around fatal workplace accidents plateauing over the past decade, experts from fields including architecture, manufacturing, media, charities, and those who’ve experienced life-altering accidents, offered valuable insights to help improve safety practices across industry.

The discussion, focused on the risks of working at height, revealed that despite advances in technology and attitudes around safety, fatalities remain each year. In 2024 alone, 138 people lost their lives in workplace accidents, 36% of which were due to falls from height. The current figures on non-fatal accidents have remained consistent for years, the current rate being similar to 2018/19 levels, further underscoring the need for change.

Key takeaways from the discussion include the importance of clear communication, accessible safety education, and the need for comfortable, well-designed personal protective equipment (PPE) that workers are more likely to wear. The panel also identified barriers such as human nature, poor equipment design, and budget constraints that may often hinder safety improvement efforts.

Panel member Jason Anker, who has dedicated his life to safety advocacy after a life-changing fall, emphasised that a total safety culture must be ingrained at every level of the industry when it comes to working at height - from designers to contractors and to workers themselves.

Panellists agreed that engaging key stakeholders, improving PPE design, and making safety a priority from the beginning of a project are all critical steps in helping to foster a culture of safety.

The goal is clear: by driving communication, collaboration, and education, the industry can help reduce accidents and fatalities, ultimately creating a safe, resilient workforce.

Advancing gas detection: Meet the PrimaX® IR+ Gas Detector

Want to inspire greater confidence in your workers? Need local indications of combustible gas concentration levels to satisfy user and application requirements? The PrimaX® IR+ Gas Detector could be the answer you’re looking for.

When you’re the person responsible for safeguarding people and places in the oil, gas, and chemical process industries, you naturally want to stay abreast of innovation in gas detection.

Advances in gas detection

But rapid technological developments over recent years mean there are now a wide range of  solutions. These range from conventional sensing methods like infrared detectors and catalytic bead sensors which have wide customer acceptance to newer technologies like ultrasonic detectors, open path infrared or laser-based detectors. Different technologies work in different ways – ultrasonic solutions ‘hear’ the ultrasonic sound from a compressed gas leak whereas other technologies ‘see’ a gas cloud using infrared absorption or ‘smell’ trace elements of a combustible gas.

Each of these solutions has its own strengths and weaknesses and are suited to particular applications and environments. For example, fixed point detectors like point infrared  detectors can help protect high risk locations from combustible gas leaks, including enclosed areas. They can also help in locations with potentially low oxygen content like ventilation ducts. Meanwhile, open path solutions can detect gas leaks in wide open areas providing integrated measurement of gas cloud. Ultrasonic detectors are suitable for high pressure offshore and onshore gas facilities where gas clouds can easily disperse, for example because of high winds.

The benefits of a layered approach

Choosing the right detection solutions for your site depends on many factors including the type of risk you’re trying to address, the placement, size and shape of your equipment, and the topology of your site. A layered approach in which several different detection technologies work together may be the best way for you to enhance safety and protect both people and plant. Using a combination of solutions helps to mitigate the limitations of single technologies and the risk that a system using the same method of detection will fail to detect a gas release.

Your first line of defence – point detectors

Fixed point detectors, including Point Infrared detectors, are likely to be your first line of defence. Infrared (IR) gas detectors rely on the ability of a hydrocarbon gases to absorb infrared energy (they’re therefore not suitable for hydrogen). They use two wavelengths – a gas-absorbing ‘active’ wavelength and a ‘reference’ wavelength not absorbed by the gas. With resistance to contamination and poisoning a long sensor life can be achieved, and minimal validation requirements help provide combined low cost of ownership. These detectors are suitable for environments where there’s continuous combustible gas presence, including oxygen deficient environments. They are positioned near potential leak sources such as pipe joints, valves, compressors, pumps and tanks.

Meet our PrimaX® IR+ Gas Detector

At MSA Safety, we’re now introducing a new point infrared gas detection solution, the PrimaX® IR+ Gas Detector. It is an extension to our PrimaX IR family that combines the trusted performance of the PrimaX IR® sensor with a user-friendly display providing real-time local gas concentration readings.

Tried and tested sensor performance

The reliability of the PrimaX® IR sensor will already be familiar to many health and safety decision-makers. With more than 45,000 units sold around the world, it offers the tried and tested reliability that inspires confidence in both health and safety professionals and workers alike. Its patented dual-source design helps provide excellent reliability and seamless monitoring in the event of one source failure. And heated optimised optics provide stability and accuracy even in humid conditions.

Now, with the addition of an LED display providing local gas concentration levels, the PrimaX® IR+ Gas Detector offers even greater confidence, enhancing your safety systems further.

Real-time local gas concentration readings and remote notifications

The addition of an LED display offers instant situation awareness and a local indication of gas concentration levels so workers can see at a glance that they’re working in a safe environment. There are four LED status indicators to signal normal operation (green), a fault (yellow), a low alarm (red) or a high alarm (also red). Two onboard alarm relays for low and high gas alarms and an additional fault relay can trigger desired safety actions.

Easy installation and operation

Users of our PrimaX® IR detector will know how easy it is to set up, calibrate and troubleshoot. And the same is true of the PrimaX® IR+. The factory calibration means it’s ready to use straightaway. But if you do need to recalibrate for different gases, the HART® technology and intuitive calibration cap complete with icon-driven interface make this a straightforward process.

Remote sensor option for maximum flexibility

Other notable benefits of the PrimaX® IR+ include the remote sensor option, enabling the sensor to be mounted up to 30 metres from the display unit. This allows you to position the display unit in the optimum location for your needs. The durable aluminium and stainless-steel enclosures add to user confidence and mean both sensor and display unit can be installed in the most demanding of environments.

Why you might want local indications

Offshore platforms, gas compressor stations and onshore terminals are complex environments and, in putting together a layered safety system and keeping it up to date, you will want to know you’re choosing the right solutions to meet today’s rigorous safety standards and expectations.Additionally, some sites may require a local indication of gas concentration levels to support safety protocols and provide workers in combustible environments with added reassurance.

Teledyne Gas and Flame Detection to put hydrogen detection solutions in the spotlight at trio of forthcoming events

Teledyne Gas & Flame Detection (Teledyne GFD) is making its final preparations for a trio of forthcoming energy sector events taking place in Europe and Asia.

all_eNERGY.jpeg
 Visitors to the Teledyne GFD booth at All Energy 2025 (Glasgow, UK, 14-15 May), World Hydrogen Summit 2025 (Rotterdam, Netherlands, 20-22 May) and World Gas Congress 2025 (Beijing, China, 19-23 May) will learn for themselves the advantages of tapping into sector knowledge and solutions that stem from decades of empowering safety in all forms of power generation. Key for these events will be Teledyne GFD’s hydrogen detection expertise and technologies.


The All-Energy exhibition and conference is the UK’s largest low-carbon energy and renewables event, with hydrogen among key focus areas regarding both grid integration and battery energy storage systems (BESS). Hydrogen is produced in BESS systems during the charging and discharging process of the batteries, or if a fault occurs that leads to thermal runaway. Once initiated, thermal runaway will likely result in a fire, but with the right detection technology it is possible to contain the consequences.

On stand B39, Teledyne GFD, which has its UK manufacturing facility just 8 km west of Glasgow in Renfrew, will be shining the spotlight on four key technologies.

The recently introduced Spyglass™ Xtend triple-infrared flame detector offers the simultaneous detection of both hydrogen and hydrocarbon fires. It boosts safety in environments where hydrogen flames can spread to co-located systems or nearby equipment and start fires involving hydrocarbon fuels that are invisible to a hydrogen-only detector. Integrated high-definition CCTV video delivers clear, rapid imaging of fuel fires like gasoline and jet fuel, while the near-IR video option detects fires caused by hydrogen and methanol, making it ideal for BESS applications. Five selectable sensitivity levels are available.

Other instruments of note at All Energy 2025 will include the tried and tested GD10P infrared (IR) gas detector, as well as the GS700-Hydrogen, a high-performance and highly flexible all-in-one instrument that is able to detect both hydrogen and natural gas in utility grid integration projects. Whether it is 100% hydrogen, hydrogen blends or natural gas, the portable GS700-Hydrogen simplifies gas detection in applications that include outdoor/indoor leak detection, purging, barholing and pipeline gas testing. Providing both safety and peace of mind, the fully ATEX-certified instrument means utilities can quickly determine the source of gas leaks, saving valuable time and reducing detection-related costs such as unnecessary excavations.

Also on show will be Teledyne GDCloud™, a user-friendly new cloud solution which enhances gas detection measurement by recording hazardous events. Users can take advantage of this technology to help ensure regulatory adherence and streamline safety programmes. Among Teledyne GDCloud’s most powerful capabilities is visualising detailed gas sensor readings from field sessions. Users can trace the route that a technician takes during investigations via advanced location mapping functionality. This capability enables breadcrumb mapping to identify the exact locations that correspond to gas readings logged by the detector. Users can also interact with dynamic charts and tabulated data displays to reveal further insights into field activity and events.

The same four technologies will also take centre stage at the World Hydrogen Summit 2025, where visitors will find Teledyne GFD at booth A93. In fact, such is Teledyne GFD’s expertise in the hydrogen arena that it has been invited to deliver a presentation at the event entitled ‘Regulatory Framework and Compliance along the Hydrogen Value Chain’.

chain.jpeg


At World Gas Congress, a flagship gas and energy industry event staged once every three years, Teledyne GFD will again present these technologies to visitors from booth Z12 in hall D. A team of local experts will be present to discuss current and/or future gas detection challenges.

Further reflecting its strong global presence, Teledyne GFD will also take booths at two events in the United States during May: AGA (American Gas Association) 2025 on May 4-8 in Aurora, Colorado; and OTC (Offshore Technology Conference) 2025 on May 5-8 in Houston, Texas.
