Intrinsic safety (IS) is an electrical design approach that prevents explosions from occurring by ensuring that the energy transferred to a hazardous area is well below the energy required to initiate ...

North American companies are beginning to move toward intrinsically-safe systems, already well established in Europe, that use currents and voltages too low to spark an explosion in a hazardous ...

If you’re responsible for overseeing operations in high-risk industries like oil and gas, mining, or chemical manufacturing, you know the threat of accidents in explosive atmospheres is ever-present.

One of the most challenging tasks design engineers can face is designing measurement or control systems to operate safely in hazardous environments. These environments may contain flammable or ...

As you develop your safety plan for a hazardous production environment, you might want to move beyond the explosion-proof methods that have been popular for so many years in the U.S., and start ...

Hochiki Europe, the leading manufacturer of innovative life safety solutions, has announced the latest addition to its expanding range of intrinsically safe compatible devices – the CHQ-ISM sounder ...
