All about
ATEX probes
Our ATEX wired and connection head temperature sensors are characterized by proven quality.
Regardless of the model chosen, here are the characteristics of these temperature control devices:
- availability with different cable lengths, diameters and tube lengths;
- indoor and outdoor use;
- an IP66 (against dust and water jets) and IP67 (dustproof and resistant to temporary immersion at a depth of 1 meter) protection index;
- ATEX certification for use in potentially explosive environments.
Our measurement probes are ATEX certified. This means that they meet the requirements of the European standard relating to products usable in EXplosive ATmospheres. This standard sets safety rules for hazardous areas; either which are directly in contact with gas (this is zone 1), or which are close to the gas (this is zone 2).
With EX marking, our thermal measuring instruments and their accessories (thermowell, bayonet, cables, etc.) are protected against the risk of explosion, thus fully complying with the European ATEX standard.
ATEX temperature sensors mainly concern industrial applications.
In concrete terms, the use of an ATEX sensor makes it possible to measure the temperatures in air conditioning or ventilation ducts. They will be able to give you the exact contact temperature (in degrees celsius or fahrenheit) of the objects to be studied. But they will also tell you about any significant temperature variations.
Our thermometers and measuring probes work on the principle of definite dependence of the change in sensor property and the change in surface temperature.
Temperature detectors are designed to operate in a chemically non-aggressive environment. Its use must be chosen according to the temperature and chemical resistance of the housing, as well as the power cable.
Finally, they are not able to generate sparks
To ensure that your measuring instrument is working correctly (and above all that the measured temperature is correct), there are many methods. We advise you to apply the one below:
Regularly send the ATEX temperature probe to a certified calibration laboratory.
To measure the ambient temperature in a hazardous area, you will need an ATEX temperature probe. You will then find all the models at Guilcor (humidity transmitter, resistance thermometer, thermocouple probe, etc.) with specific characteristics (with display, stainless steel connector, precise measurement, variable temperature range depending on the model, cable length made to measure, with or without cable, low or high temperatures, etc.).
I can't find my probe , how can you help me?
We will always be able to offer you the reliable, precise and robust probe you are looking for.
On our website we present a wide variety of temperature probes. Know that you can also customize your product on all specifications or make a request starting from a technical drawing in order to create your probe. To this end, do not hesitate to contact us for a tailor-made offer. We then take care of delivering your temperature probe to you as soon as possible.
