Hazardous Area Flow Meters
Ensuring Safety and Precision in Explosive Environments
Hazardous area flow meters are specialised instruments engineered to measure the flow of liquids or gases in environments where explosive atmospheres may be present due to flammable gases, vapours, dust, or fibres. These environments, often found in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and mining, require equipment that can operate safely without igniting the surrounding atmosphere. To ensure safety, these flow meters are designed and certified to meet stringent international standards, such as ATEX, IECEx, and FM, which dictate the necessary precautions and construction features to prevent ignition sources.

ATEX Flow Meters
Compliance for European Hazardous Zones
ATEX (Atmosphères Explosibles) is a European Union directive that sets the standards for equipment intended for use in explosive atmospheres. Flow meters that are ATEX-certified have undergone rigorous testing to ensure they do not pose a risk of ignition in hazardous environments. These certifications are crucial for industries operating within the EU, as they ensure compliance with safety regulations and help prevent accidents. The UX5000 Clamp-on Flow Meter, for instance, is certified for use in hazardous areas (Zone 1 & Zone 2) and features an intrinsically safe measurement system, making it suitable for various industrial applications.
Explosion Proof Flow Meters
Solutions for High-Risk Applications
Explosion proof flow meters are designed to contain any internal explosion within the device, preventing it from igniting the surrounding hazardous atmosphere. These meters are typically housed in robust enclosures capable of withstanding the pressure of an internal explosion. The UX5000 exemplifies this design, featuring a non-invasive installation that eliminates the need for pipe cutting or process interruption. Its rugged construction and certifications, including ATEX and IECEx, make it a reliable choice for industries requiring precise flow measurement in explosive environments.
