PVL's ATEX Flow Switches ATEX flow switches

The PVL flow switches range offers some of the best piston valve, piston inline and paddle designs for flow control. The latest range of flow switches features switch heads certified to ATEX Directive 94/9/EC, married to a wide variety of mechanical flow control bodies. The products provide intrinsic safety level protection by limiting energy and temperature and minimising the risk of arcing. As such the products may be used in Safety zones 0, 1 and 2, in application areas such as offshore platforms, petrochemical plants, mines, flour mills and other areas where a potentially explosive atmosphere may be present.

PSM/PSP ATEX Certified pressure switches

PSM/PSP ATEX certified pressure switches

One of the PVL engineering team said recently that he wishes he had a tenner for every batch of PSM and PSP ATEX pressure switches he has sent to Eastern European petrochemical plants and mines in the last few years. Our PSM/PSP intrinsically safe ATEX pressure switches in, steel, brass or stainless steel bodies, with Nitrile, Viton® or EPDM diaphragm options to suit your process fluids and environment sell all over the world. There are switches with 0.1 to 300 bar pressure range, and another with a range of 0.25 mBar and 8.5 Bar to give you maximum flexibility.
