Things to consider selecting a suitable sensor

For any sensor, it is important to consider the pressure range, accuracy, sensitivity, range and conditions. Especially for our Intrinsically safe pressure sensors, it's important certification , compliance, and safety aspects of the sensor, transmitter, or transducer. We would like to provide the following tips to help you choose the right intrinsically safe pressure sensor for your project or application:

• Verify certifications: Ensure the sensor is certified for intrinsic safety under standards like ATEX, IECEx, or FM, and matches the hazardous area classification (Zone 0, 1, or 2) of your application.
• Local regulation compliance: Confirm the sensor meets safety regulations specific to your region and industry, particularly in high-risk sectors like oil and gas or chemical processing.
• Match to conditions: Select a Intrinsically safe sensor designed to operate within your application’s temperature and pressure ranges, considering both normal and extreme conditions.
• Durability and protection: Choose sensors made from materials resistant to corrosion, chemicals, and other environmental hazards, with a high IP rating for protection against dust and moisture.
• Output compatibility: Ensure the sensor’s output type (e.g., 4-20 mA, HART) integrates seamlessly with your control systems and is compatible with safety barriers or isolators.

These tips will help you select the best sensor for your project or application. For further information and questions, please contact our team of technical experts, who always want to help you find the right Intrinsically safe pressure sensor for your project or application.
