ATEX-certified Load Cells are weighing and force-measurement devices designed and certified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. They are particularly important in industries where flammable gases, vapours, mists, or combustible dust may be present, such as oil & gas, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, chemical processing, food processing, mining, and bulk-material handling.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tATEX certification helps ensure that the load cell and its associated equipment are designed so that they do not become an ignition source under the specified hazardous-area conditions.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tATEX comes from the European Union’s requirements for equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. Equipment is classified according to the type of hazardous environment and the level of protection required.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Typical hazardous-area classifications include:<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\u2022 Zone 0: Explosive gas atmosphere is present continuously or for long periods.
\u2022 Zone 1: Explosive gas atmosphere is likely to occur during normal operation.
\u2022 Zone 2: Explosive gas atmosphere is not normally present, but may occur temporarily.
\u2022 Zone 20, 21 and 22: Corresponding zones for combustible dust.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe correct load-cell certification must therefore match the actual hazardous area, gas\/dust group, temperature class, and installation requirements.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Preventing Load Cells from Becoming Ignition Sources<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA conventional load cell may be perfectly suitable for a normal industrial environment but may not have the necessary protection for an explosive atmosphere.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

ATEX-certified equipment is evaluated for potential ignition hazards such as:
\u2022 Electrical sparks
\u2022 Excessive surface temperature
\u2022 Electrical faults
\u2022 Static electricity
\u2022 Mechanical or other possible ignition sources<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFor example, a load cell installed beneath a chemical-storage vessel may continuously measure the vessel’s weight. If the surrounding atmosphere contains flammable vapour, the measurement system must be appropriately protected.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Safer Weighing in Hazardous Processes<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Load cells are commonly installed in:
\u2022 Storage tanks
\u2022 Reactors
\u2022 Hoppers
\u2022 Silos
\u2022 Filling machines
\u2022 Blending systems
\u2022 Batch-processing equipment
\u2022 Conveyor weighing systems
\u2022 Force-monitoring equipment<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn these applications, accurate weighing is important not only for process control but also for safety.\nFor example, overfilling a chemical vessel can create pressure, spillage, or vapour-release hazards. A reliable load-measurement system can provide an important input to the plant’s control and safety systems.\nATEX-certified load cells can therefore form part of a properly engineered hazardous-area weighing system.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Controlled Electrical Energy<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Many hazardous-area load-cell systems use intrinsically safe (Ex i) protection concepts.
The principle is to limit electrical energy and temperature to levels that cannot ignite the specified explosive atmosphere under the applicable conditions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A typical system may consist of:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Load Cell \u2192 Junction Box \u2192 Intrinsically Safe Barrier\/Interface \u2192 Weighing Indicator\/PLC<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIt is important to understand that an ATEX-certified load cell alone does not automatically make the entire weighing installation ATEX-compliant. Cables, junction boxes, barriers, indicators, power supplies, and installation methods may also need appropriate certification or assessment.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Reduced Risk of Explosion<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe major safety benefit is the reduction of the possibility that measurement equipment could initiate an explosion. Consider a pharmaceutical powder-processing plant. Fine combustible dust may become suspended in the air. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIf electrical equipment generates sufficient energy or reaches an unsuitable surface temperature, it can potentially provide an ignition source.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUsing appropriately certified equipment helps control these risks when combined with proper plant design, zoning, maintenance, and operating procedures.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Reliable Operation in Harsh Industrial Conditions<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Industrial load cells may be exposed to:
\u2022 Chemicals
\u2022 Moisture
\u2022 Dust
\u2022 Temperature variations
\u2022 Mechanical vibration
\u2022 Cleaning processes
\u2022 Corrosive environments<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMany industrial ATEX load cells are available with robust constructions and protection levels suitable for demanding environments. Stainless-steel construction and suitable sealing can provide additional resistance against corrosion and environmental contamination, depending on the particular model.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHowever, IP rating and ATEX certification are different things. IP protection describes resistance to ingress of solids and liquids, whereas ATEX relates to suitability for potentially explosive atmospheres.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

ATEX-certified equipment provides documented evidence that the equipment has been assessed against applicable explosion-protection requirements.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
