Free poster for Ex tool applications
15 Mar 2007
Fluke, the world’s leading supplier of handheld test and measurement equipment, is offering a free ‘Intrinsically Safe Test Tool’ poster and product guide. Available via the Fluke web site at (www.fluke.eu/ex) the poster clearly shows where Fluke’s Ex test tools can be used in hazardous environments.
User safety is one of the primary drivers for the development of all Fluke test tools. Fluke was one of the first manufacturers of ATEX-compliant hand-held tools, and now offers a broad range of intrinsically safe process calibrators and a version of the world’s most popular industrial multimeter. They can be used to install, maintain and troubleshoot equipment, as well as maintain and calibrate sensors, transmitters and control loops. These products meet the needs of technicians in petro-chemical plants, oil platforms, refineries, governmental bodies, commercial organisations and any location subject to the risk of explosion.
The ATEX rules are mandatory on electrical and electronic equipment for use in environments subject to explosion hazard sold in the EU since July 2003 - all products sold for use in explosive atmospheres must have ATEX certification and carry the distinctive Ex symbol. Fluke Ex test tools can be purchased from Fluke authorised distributors. For more information visit the Fluke Web site at www.fluke.co.uk
