JUMO Pressure Transmitters dTRANS p33 now also meet ATEX

The European Directive 94 / 9 / EC (ATEX 100a) has been in force since July 1st 2003. This directive redefines the regulations for the application and characteristics of equipment for use in areas with an explosion hazard. The well-established JUMO dTRANS p33 pressure transmitters from JUMO GmbH & Co. KG, Fulda, Germany, also had to be adapted to meet the requirements of the new directive.

At the same time, some important extensions were made to the functionality, to enable simple solutions for difficult application conditions. For instance, the new approval now covers use in gases and dust environments. The wide range of options for different process connections has been expanded to include front-flush versions, particularly important for applications in the food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Also new is a high-temperature version for media temperatures up to 200°C. And even a submersible version is available, for level measurement in liquids. A selection of electrical connections, such as an M12 connector, cable socket or terminal head round off the wide range of options on offer.
