AMETEK Process Instruments announces release of ATEX & IECEx Zone 1 certifications on analysers

Utilising an integrated Ex purge and pressurisation system, the 993X analysers can be installed in locations where an explosive atmosphere is occasionally present during normal operations. The new Zone 1 certification compliments the existing ATEX, IECEx, UKEX Zone 2 and North America Class I Division 2 approvals that are also available.

Michael Gaura, Senior Product Manager explained: “AMETEK Process Instruments recognises plant operators are continually focused on safety and efficiency. The 993X analysers are designed to safely and continuously measure and monitor process gas streams in challenging environments. Providing analysers with Zone 1 classification, provides operators with more options, and reduces risk.”

The 993X series of analysers use ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy to measure hydrogen sulfide, carbonyl sulfide and methyl mercaptan in natural gas and biomethane gas streams. These highly advanced analysers are also used to measure hydrogen sulfide, carbonyl sulfide, carbon disulfide, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen in sulfur removal and recovery operations. The analysers have ingress protection ratings of IP66 and NEMA 4X and are proven to operate in ambient temperatures ranging from -20ºC to +60ºC. Standard features include colour touch screen display, and Modbus communications.
