Accelerometer calibration - and make it snappy
Sira Test and Certification has developed a fast turnaround accelerometer calibration service.
Both the new Directive ATEX 137 (99/92/EC) and Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations (DSEAR) include mists in their definitions for explosive atmospheres.
These industry regulations have been recently introduced to protect personnel from fires, explosions and similar events arising from dangerous substances used in the workplace.
The flowchart has been developed as a starting point for correlating information on dealing with mist formation in the context of area classification for a wide range of industries such as petrochemicals, chemicals, manufacturing and process.
The chart should be viewed as a "work in progress", and it is hoped that it will become a channel for the sharing of information among interested parties and experts.
