We also provide EAC Ex, FM Hazloc, and Ex NEPSI certified weighing solutions.
If you have to install the load cell in an area classified as a place with a risk of explosion due to the presence of mixtures of gas, vapors or flammable mists or combustible powders, targeted certification will be essential.
The most suitable certification will depend both on the classification of the hazardous area and on the market where the application is installed:
- ATEX regulations for the European Union
- IECeX certification scheme at the international level,
- FM HazLoc certification for the United States and Canada
- EAC Ex certification for the countries of the Eurasian Customs Union
- Ex NEPSI certification for the People’s Republic of China
ATEX and IECEx: SAFETY, WORLDWIDE
ATEX certification is the regulatory framework for the production, installation and use of equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres.
IECEx is an internationally accepted certification scheme, demonstrating compliance with Ex standards (issued by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)) of electrical products intended for installation in potentially explosive areas.
The Scheme is recognized in 30 international markets, including: USA/Canada, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, China, South Korea, India, Australia, Brazil, Argentina and Chile.
The joint certification of the two schemes allows:
- faster access of our products in the most important international markets;
- guaranteed observance of the required level of safety, thanks to the universality and completeness of the IEC standards applied in the evaluation of certified products;
- time and cost savings due to the reduced need for inspections and audits.
A THOUSAND NEEDS, A THOUSAND POSSIBILITIES
Being able to request the production of a completely customized load cell, designed to unique and specific needs, opens up application possibilities that solve weighing and measuring problems in particular contexts.
Custom load cells, for example, in addition to being designed with special mechanical dimensions, can:
- be biaxial, triaxial and also measure torque;
- have two extensometric Wheatstone bridges for redundant dual safety systems;
- have non-standard (-30° / + 200°) thermal compensation for operating temperatures from -40°C to +210°C;
- have special high/low temperature cables.
