Proximity switch for Ex zones 0/20
Published: 16 July, 2019
EGE says launching the IGEX20a inductive proximity switch, it presents a compact sensor with ignition protection type Ex m (encapsulation). The company says, observing the relevant installation standards and conditions, it can be used directly in zones 0/20 without any further switching amplifier.
IGEX20a is certified according to ATEX and IECEx. IECEx certification simplifies worldwide use of the sensors in member countries of the IECEx regime. Certified for use in Ex zones 0 and 20, the proximity switches can be employed in hazardous areas with gas or dust atmospheres, for example in gas stations and in facilities with gas pipelines etc. The switching function is indicated by an LED on the back of the device. The sensors are available in M12, M18, and M30 designs.

MICHELL INSTRUMENTS reports a key energy company in Germany has chosen its Promet I.S. process moisture analyser to monitor moisture levels in bio-methane before it is injected into the grid to ensure that it meets the correct quality standards.
Flowhire is a specialist in flow measurement rental services for liquids, steam and gas and supports process industries as diverse as paper and pulp, brewing, oil and gas and engine development with a wide range of equipment, from mag flow meters through to more complex vortex and Coriolis installations. The company also maintains a fleet of sixteen non-invasive KATRONIC clamp-on portable ultrasonic flow meters.
Hydra-Cell pumps from WANNER are said to meet the challenges of flue gas scrubbing in terms of corrosion resistance and their ability to handle abrasive particulate matter. The company says in the wake of the recent automotive emissions scandals, air pollution control has again taken ‘centre stage’ and the challenge of minimising the environmental impact of industrial processes has never been greater.
