Jargon buster cuts through the ATEX jungle
ABB has published an "ATEX jargon buster" that helps motor users cut through the jungle of terms and definitions that make up the new ATEX Directives.
This online resource also provides extensive product information for users who know exactly what they're looking for, plus a handy glossary of vacuum terms and technologies, including a section on principles of operation for the commonly used pump types, helping to guide users to the most appropriate solution to a given problem.
The site also provides a handy set of conversion tables for all the commonly used units of vacuum measurement, complete with an online calculator to convert any input value from one unit to another.
Marketing Manager Nina McSorley comments: "The vacuum industry is a very closely knit community, and it's easy to fall into the trap of assuming that everyone knows everything about the different suppliers and their products".
"But what we have found in practice is that there is very little dissemination of information by the various vendors, so users often only ever get to hear about new products and services from a very small number of companies".
"Industrial Vacuum plays a vital role, then, by highlighting a far wider range of suppliers than many users will be familiar with".
"This opens up the potential for uncovering alternative products that could deliver significant operational advantages in a given application".
"By the same token, users who are exposed to a wider spectrum of solutions will begin to push the vacuum equipment manufacturers harder for ever more sophisticated products, and perhaps we'll see some radical new technologies emerge".
