The term “dissipation loss” can be found in the data sheet for a pressure sensor or pressure transmitter. One needs this specification in order to be able to protect the pressure sensor from overheating. If a pressure sensor is operated in a hot environment, it …
Is it possible to connect a non-incendive Ex nA digital indicator to an intrinsically safe Ex i sensor in hazardous areas? Very often, signals from pressure sensors that do not have a built-in digital indicator for the measured value are connected to external digital …
In my last article I introduced you to how the “basic” proof of intrinsic safety can be provided for instruments and pressure sensors approved to ATEX in Europe. Each installer or operator must ensure that the employees in the plant are not endangered and …
