Solenoid valves for harsh environments
26 April 2013
ASCO Numatics introduces two intrinsically safe solenoid valves with Ex ia IIC T6 certification.

The solenoid operators are designed for use on the 327 range of direct operated solenoid valves and are available in epoxy coated aluminium or stainless steel. The solenoids are certified to ATEX, Category 1G/2D and Equipment Protection Level (EPL) Ga/Db. Both operators are IECEx approved and certified to IEC 61508 Functional Safety (SIL 3 capable).
The polarity insensitive solenoid operators have a power consumption of only 0.5W at 24V DC and feature a newly developed electronic booster coil and stainless steel core for optimum performance. Available with either an epoxy coated aluminium or 316L stainless steel enclosure rated to IP66 and IP67. The operator can be rotated 360° and locked into position to select the best position for cable entry. Electrical connection is via a cable gland (M20x1.5) or cable connection 1/2” NPT and easy access screw terminals.
