Deritend is one of the few UK companies qualified to repair, certify, install and commission electric motors for use in ATEX zoned environments. While traditional ATEX industries such as petrochemical processing facilities are used to conformity, Deritend is warning that motors without correct certification are likely to be used in the recently defined ATEX zone 20 to 22 dust conditions. Companies need to use suppliers and repairers that correctly certify machines if they are to avoid liability should something go wrong.

Michell Instruments are delighted to announce they have developed a certified intrinsically safe version of their Easidew Transmitter. The Easidew TX I.S. increases the already highly successful range of Easidew dew point instruments, which includes portable and on-line hygrometers, as well as dew point transmitters. The Easidew TX I.S. is a low cost, rugged impedance dew-point transmitter for continuous measurement in industrial gas applications.

The Easidew TX I.S. is ATEX certified by BASEEFA for use in hazardous areas to Ex II 1G ia IIC T4 when used with a galvanic isolator for signal power supply connections. Easidew TX I.S. can therefore be safely used in virtually all industrial gas measurement applications. The certification lists five different galvanic isolators from two different manufacturers. This allows the customer to choose the most suitable isolator to the correct hazardous / safe area interconnection.
