Product catalog summary

Introduction to Intrinsically Safe Calibrators

In industrial environments where safety is paramount, intrinsically safe calibrators are essential. These devices are designed to operate safely in explosive environments by ensuring that electrical and thermal energy levels are too low to ignite hazardous atmospheres.

Hazardous Area Classifications

Zone 0: Explosive gas and air mixture is continuously present or for long periods.
Zone 1: Explosive gas and air mixture likely during normal operations.
Zone 2: Explosive gas and air mixture unlikely during normal operations, and if it occurs, it is short-lived.

Applications and Benefits

Intrinsically safe calibrators are used in industries like oil refineries, gas pipelines, and chemical plants. They offer the safest calibration method, especially in Zone 0 environments, and provide multifunctional capabilities for pressure, temperature, and electrical signal calibration.

Technical Differences

These calibrators differ from regular ones in design and technical features to prevent ignition. They often use conductive materials and have specific battery requirements. Charging must occur in non-explosive areas, and external modules must also be intrinsically safe.

Standards and Certification

ATEX and IECEx are standards ensuring safety in explosive atmospheres. Beamex calibrators like the MC5-IS and MC2-IS are certified under these standards, ensuring they are safe and effective for their intended use.

Service and Maintenance

Maintaining intrinsic safety post-service is crucial. Repairs should be conducted by the manufacturer or authorized service providers. Recalibration should ideally be done by ISO/IEC 17025 accredited labs.

Beamex Calibrators

The Beamex MC2-IS and MC5-IS are multifunction calibrators designed for explosive environments. The MC5-IS offers high accuracy and integrates with calibration software for improved efficiency. Both models are ATEX and IECEx certified.
