Sensonics has secured ATEX approval for its range of PZ velocity transducers, accelerometers and AECP eddy current probes, designed for use in the measurement of vibration and noncontact displacement.
Sensonics has secured ATEX approval for its range of PZ velocity transducers, accelerometers and AECP eddy current probes, designed for use in the measurement of vibration and noncontact displacement.
The ATEX accreditation ensures that the instruments are suitable in environments where potentially explosive atmospheres may prevail.
ATEX Directive (94/9/EC) permits movement of equipment within the European Union and ensures that manufacturers secure certification of electrical and/or mechanical products likely to be used in zones which could become hazardous, eg where flammable gases, vapours, mists or dust accumulation may be present.
A wide range of instrumentation supplied by Sensonics is designed to perform condition monitoring tasks on a host of industrial machinery such as pumps and fans, gas and steam turbines, compressors, motors and mills, engines and gearboxes, turbines, centrifuges, gas circulators and other critical rotating machinery.
Typical recent applications have involved on board ship installations, airport fuel supply lines, centrifuges, hydrogen cooled turbines and much more.
The PZ velocity transducers provided by Sensonics are extremely robust and suitable for vertical or horizontal operation, offer a frequency range of 10Hz to 1kHz and cover a temperature range between -30 and +150C.
These instruments are particularly suited to the power generation industry as well as to many other industrial applications.
Sensonics robust piezoelectric accelerometers contain no moving parts, are simple to fit, have a wide frequency response and provide the added benefit of low cost.
The company's industrial eddy current probe systems are excellent for high and low speed applications, including down to steady state.
They are commonly used for axial movement, phase reference angle, reverse rotation, tapered shaft axial position speed measurement and reciprocating compressor rod drop monitoring.
Sensonics has also recently been accredited the ISO9000:2000 quality management system.
