Natural gas analyser in hazardous area!

Michell Instruments’ OptiPEAK TDL600 moisture in natural gas analyzer now has a variant specifically designed to meet US NEC500 requirements for hazardous area installation. The complete analyser, together with sample conditioning system, meets Ex certification requirements for Class 1 Division 1 areas with gas groups B, C and D. The system also conforms to NEC505 for Zone 1 installation. A NEMA4X enclosure provides protection and allows the analyzer to be installed near to the process sample tapping point. This ensures maximum benefit from the fast, optical response of the OptiPEAK TDL600 by reducing sample transport times to a minimum. Standalone, outdoor installation also keeps installation costs low for both new plant projects and retrofits to existing plants. To complete the installation package, Michell offer accessories such as factory fitted trace heated sample tubing, floor standing mounting frame with sun protection and optional enclosure cooling to tailor the system to individual site location and customer requirements. • Michell Instruments are marketed through Instrument Technology in Ireland.
