"Whilst taking inventory of a customer system our field engineers recently came across an ATEX sample gas pump which has been in service since 1979", so Markus Beck, Sales Manager at Bühler Technologies. "This discovery made us extremely proud. It’s impressive testimony we have always met our responsibility for maximum quality in the sensitive ATEX field."
The same year the guidelines on explosion protection, applicable for all of Europe, had just been introduced by the Council of the European Community in 1979, "Bühler" started selling a product model which complied with the latest Ex requirements. The model would still meet the regulations 15 years later, known as the "ATEXT directive" since 1994 – although by then it had long been part of a separate product line.
AT stands for "ATmosphère" and "EX" for "EXplosible". The ATEX directives apply to companies developing and using products for potentially explosive industry sectors. These directives define the health and safety requirements which must be observed to protect all persons which come into contact with explosive areas of industrial systems. The ATEX products, classified by the danger level, are a significant contribution to prevent explosive gases, dusts, mists, or even explosions, in industrial systems. Gas analysis by extracting and conditioning the sample gas are key for safe and efficient system operation in processes or monitoring emissions in the chemical industry, petrochemistry or biochemistry as well as power stations.
The P 2.2 ATEX sample gas pump by Bühler Technologies is particularly sets itself apart through the following properties:
- long life
- robust
- transporting sample gas containing condensate
- easy and quick spare parts replacement on site (no disassembly required!)
- adjustable bypass flow rate, also stainless steel
And the "P 2.2 ATEX" sample gas pump is particularly suited for the sectors "chemicals", "petrochemistry", "food", "certified systems" and "power stations". It is further ATEX and IECEx approved for "Zone 1" and "Zone 2" areas as well as international approvals for Class 1 Division 2.
