White Paper- Calibration in Hazardous Locations

Product catalog summary

Introduction
Calibration in hazardous locations requires special equipment due to the presence of combustible vapors. Improper calibration can lead to personal injury and property damage. This document discusses the requirements and solutions for calibrating instruments in such environments.

Hazardous Materials and Locations
Many industries, including petroleum, chemical, agriculture, and even water treatment, use flammable materials. Identifying hazardous locations is crucial for selecting and maintaining appropriate instruments.

Equipment Requirements
Protection requirements vary based on material type, hazard frequency, and protection concept. Hazardous areas are classified into zones (Zone 0, 1, 2) based on the presence of flammable materials. Intrinsic Safety (IS) is a common protection concept, limiting energy to prevent ignition. Beamex calibrators are certified for Ex ia IIC T4 hazards, suitable for most vapor hazards.

Calibration Solutions
Beamex offers solutions like the MC5-IS portable calibrator and the MCS100 modular system for workshops. These tools are designed for safe operation in hazardous locations. The CMX software aids in calibration management, ensuring compliance with regulations and integration with systems like SAP/R3.

Key Points

Improper actions in hazardous locations can cause damage and injury.
Hazardous locations can be found in many industries and homes.
Instruments must be specified and maintained according to location requirements.
Beamex calibrators are designed for use in various vapor hazards.
