Calibration In Hazardous Environments
A hazardous environment is an area that contains elements that may cause an explosion: source of ignition, a flammable substance and oxygen.
Intrinsic safety (IS) is a protection technique for safely operating electronic equipment in explosive environments. The idea behind intrinsic safety is to make sure that the available electrical and thermal energy in a system is always low enough that ignition of the hazardous atmosphere cannot occur. (Read More)
