Ex Multi-Mode Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge Cygnus 1

Description

The Cygnus 1 Ex is Intrinsically Safe thickness  gauge, certified to Zone 0, suitable for hazardous areas.

Hazardous Areas are locations where there is a risk of fire or explosion, due to the presence of ignitable or flammable substances in the air. These substances include gases, vapours, and dusts that are present in the air, at concentrations high enough to produce an ignitable mixture. Ex systems are used around the world and most systems are based on IECEx. Regions like the European ATEX Standard and the North American NEC/UL Standards use the IEC 60079 Standard as a source.

In both the IECEx and ATEX Systems hazardous areas are classified into Zones based on an assessment of the frequency of the occurrence and duration of an explosive atmosphere:

• Zone 0 – An area in which an explosive gas atmosphere is continuously present or for long periods;
• Zone 1 – An area in which an explosive gas atmosphere is likely to occur in normal operation;
• Zone 2 – An area in which an explosive gas atmosphere is not likely to occur in normal operation and, if it occurs, will only exist for a short time.

Cygnus 1 Ex gauge has been approved to IECEx, ATEX and UKEX requirements, and is the ONLY gauge that meets the highest classification of ATEX Zone 0, which is equivalent to NEC (UL) Class I Division 1 Group “ALL”.
