As far as maintenance is concerned, when repairing or servicing machines or equipment in which the speed of a motor is important, RHEINTACHO tachometers are the right solution. We offer our customers different tachometers ranging from a handheld mechanical tachometer HTM, which is also ATEX certified,
This article gives you brief but comprehensive information about the basics of explosion safety and the available protective systems for this purpose.
Depending on the results of the hazard and risk analysis, a number of proven precautions need to be taken. They are divided into explosion prevention and explosion protection. Preventive precautions are designed to prevent an explosive atmosphere and therefore to reduce the probability of an explosion.
Gardner Denver has created a new guide exploring how ATEX regulations and IECEX standards for controlling explosive atmospheres in plants and refineries can impact on compressor systems.
Available to download for free from bit.ly/2OFauGe, the guide covers the most important aspects of ATEX and IECEX certification, with an explanation of key concepts, and a list of countries where the standards apply. It also includes top tips to minimise risks and costs regarding air compressors.
