Intrinsically safe
July 1st 2010 Casella CEL's TUFF range of
Personal Air Sampling Pumps has
gained ATEX (and IECEx)
Intrinsically Safe approval for use in
flammable atmospheres. This means
the TUFF pumps can be used at
hazardous plants and production
sites where there is a potential risk of
explosive dust or gas.
Designed to European IP54
standards (protected from dust and
splashing water), the TUFF is also
reported to differ from ordinary
handheld pumps in that it is believed
to be the only Personal Air Sampling
Pump in the world to receive
certification to 'M1' classification
required for mining applications,
allowing it to be safely used
underground without the need for a
hot work permit.
The comprehensive range of
TUFF rubber over-moulded sealed
models features a robust and reliable
design for harsh environments,
digital flow control and a convenient
drop-in charging/storage system. More articles from Casella Measurement: |
