Hazardous area certifications for wall mountable analysers

AMETEK says that its 993X series of analysers, encompassing the 993X and 9933, are now ATEX and IECEx Zones 1 and 2, and ETL (North America) Class I Division 2 compliant for use in hazardous locations with ambient temperature up to +60ºC. Built with IP66-rated enclosures, the 993X analysers can be installed outdoors, or in minimally temperature-controlled enclosures, reducing both capital and operating costs.

The 993X series of analysers use ultraviolet spectroscopy to measure hydrogen sulphide, carbonyl sulphide, and methyl mercaptan in natural gas and biomethane gas streams. These analysers are also used to measure hydrogen sulphide, carbonyl sulphide, carbon disulfide, sulphur dioxide, and hydrogen in sulphur removal and recovery operations.

Michael Gaura, senior product manager explained, “Due to increasing demand from our customers and with the need to deliver an analyser that meets strict safety standards, we have continued to extend the capabilities of our highly successful 993X analysers. Using an integrated cooling system to maintain internal temperatures of the enclosure, the 993X analysers are designed to operate in higher ambient temperatures and locations where explosive atmospheres may occur, making the analysers compliant to ATEX & IECEx Zone 1 & Zone 2, as well as Class I and Division 2 locations.”
