Ensure your Temperature Sensors are Safe
Jan 18 2012
When terminating MI thermocouples and RTD sensors into suitably certified Exd or Exe enclosures, the terminal glands must carry the appropriate certification. Glands need to be approved for use with sensors rather than just for cables as temperature sensors are not terminated at each end and so have different fault conditions.
Okazaki offers a range of thermocouples and RTDs that are certified as combined units with their own termination glands, giving an overall certification of Exde IIC T6, greatly simplifying the customer’s compliance process.
Okazaki’s (UK) FPN (flameproof nipple) range of thermocouple or RTD sensors are pressure-tested to 1,000psi and can be fitted to other manufacturers’ temperature transmitters, while still maintaining an IP66/67 rating, without requiring compression glands to be fitted that would restrict sensor movement.
