BlazeMetrics

Explosion Proof (ATEX) 

Pilot Production Tools Only

Overview

The Blaze Explosion Proof (ATEX) probes are releasing in fall of 2022. These probes can go inside a reactor or pipeline which internally is rated to ATEX Zone 0. For the Blaze Basic, the area outside the vessel or pipeline can be rated to ATEX Zone 1, and for the Blaze Platform, external surrounding area is rated to ATEX Zone 2. The Blaze Electronics Enclosures are rated for ATEX Zone 2.​ Check back in Fall 2023 for Extended Capabilities for BlazeATEX/Explosion Proof Systems.
