HAZARDOUS AREA EQUIPMENT
In
many chemical, pharmaceutical and petrochemical environments
there is a requirement for automatic industrial doors and gates.
Hazardous areas are places in which a dangerous explosive
atmosphere exists as a result of local and operational
conditions.
An explosive atmosphere is a mixture of air and combustible
gases, vapours, fumes or dust under conditions where combustion
expands itself after ignition.
The selection of hazardous area equipment starts with
recognition or classification of the area in which the equipment
is to operate, this must be specified to ensure the correct
level of protection.
Link Controls offer many operators and controls off the shelf
and can design and build custom solutions for hazardous area
applications.
