The following application notes highlight a number of applications where temperature monitoring may be required in hazardous areas. In these environments, contact temperature measurement can present challenges. We highlight how our ATEX-certified non-contact infrared temperature sensors, such as ExTemp and ExTempMini, may help overcome these challenges.

Paint curing processes in spray booths require accurate and consistent temperature control to ensure optimal coating adhesion, finish quality, and durability. Temperature detection across vehicle surfaces is critical to achieving uniform curing, particularly on complex geometries and large panels.

The ExTemp non-contact infra-red temperature sensor is designed to operate safely in hazardous areas, where there is a risk of explosion due to flammable vapours or dusts. It is certified “Intrinsically Safe” so there is no need for a bulky flameproof enclosure. The ExTemp is suitable for hazardous areas, Zone 0, 1 and 2 (gas), … Continue reading Calex Intrinsically Safe Infrared Temperature Sensors →

The new ExTempMini is an intrinsically safe two-piece pyrometer with a sensing head that can be used in high ambient temperatures, up to 180°C. The sensor is ATEX, IECEx, UKCA and JapanEx certified for all surface gas Zones up to Zone 0 (sensing head) and Zone 1 (electronics module). The sensor has a two-wire 4-20 … Continue reading ExTempMini: New ATEX Pyrometer for High Ambient Temperatures →
