ATEX portable lighting refers to lighting equipment that is designed and certified to be used in hazardous environments. These environments may contain flammable gases, liquids or dust, which presents a risk of explosion or fire.
ATEX (Atmospheres Explosibles) is a certification that ensures that the equipment meets specific safety and quality standards for use in hazardous areas. These lights are typically used in oil and gas operations, chemical plants, and other settings where flammable gases or vapors may be present.
Portable ATEX lighting includes handheld torches, headlamps, and other portable lighting devices manufactured by Wolf Safety Company that are safe to use in explosive atmospheres.
These lights are commonly used in industries such as petrochemical, mining, and oil and gas, where safety is of utmost importance.
ATEX portable lighting fixtures are long-lasting, require minimal maintenance, and are easy to move from one location to another, making them ideal for use in a variety of hazardous environments.
Before purchasing an ATEX portable lighting fixture, it is important to ensure that it is certified to meet the needed safety standards and can operate in the required hazardous atmosphere.
Contact T&D who using the latest software, can provide a FREE LIGHTING DESIGN SERVICE for the specification and supply of ATEX & IECEx light fittings to provide safe and reliable lighting in hazardous areas and industrial locations.
ATEX portable lighting typically uses LED technology, providing high levels of illumination while keeping power consumption low. They offer a durable, reliable, and safe solution for workers in hazardous locations no matter how harsh the conditions, providing visibility and light in potentially dangerous settings.
The products are available in rechargeable or battery-powered options and are designed to be lightweight and easy to carry. They have a long-lasting battery life, making them ideal for remote and challenging locations.
Overall, portable lighting provides a safe and effective way to illuminate hazardous environments without increasing the risk of fire or explosion.
In the petrochemical industry in order for the crude oil process to run continuously and smoothly care has to be taken when storing raw and finished products. Delivery of the crude oil is via pipeline or ship and stored in a large tank until it is ready for final processing.
Accurate level measurement of products of distillation is essential whilst they are being stored in different sized tanks.
In the past it was expensive as calibratable measuring devices were implemented for level measurement. Nowadays cheaper and low maintenance measuring systems are used for small and medium sized tanks. Products are now usually measured by calibratable flow meters while being moved.
The radar sensor VEGAPULS 62 is suitable for level measurement especially in small and mid-size refinery vessels. Being small and light, the level sensor can be mounted without difficulty in an existing mounting boss, or integrated into a manhole.
With an accuracy of 3 mm, the VEGAPULS 62 sensor is ideal for inventory tank management and can easily be coupled with superordinate systems. Through the use of a temperature adapter, process temperatures up to 200 °C can be realised enabling level measurement of highly viscous distillation products such as lubricating oil or bitumen. VEGAPULS 62 has also proven itself very well as overfill protection in floating roof vessels.

Until now, mechanical measuring systems such as float gauges or displacers were often implemented. To guarantee precise measuring results, such devices (VEGAFLEX 61) are used mainly in standpipes. Due to the large equalisation holes in the pipes, it is often impossible to replace existing systems with free radiating radar sensors – the holes cause interfering reflections.
This is a situation in which the guided microwave device provides a simple, as well as reliable, solution for level measurement. When the sensor is mounted in the center of the existing standpipe, a coaxial measuring system with optimal signal transmission is created. The result is high accuracy and dependability, without large expenditures for installation and setup.
In principle, a continuous measuring system can be implemented for overfill protection. However, as a completely different measuring principle, the vibrating level switch VEGASWING 63 provides additional safety. Independent of product characteristics, the level sensor reliably detects the threshold level and thus ensures a high degree of plant safety.
The annual instrument check is carried out quickly and reliably with a simple push of a button on the instrument. VEGASWING 63 is ideally suited for leakage monitoring in tank enclosures.

In the cement industry, after the kiln process, clinker is mixed with additives then ground into cement powder in mill and then stored in storage or cement silos. How the finished material is transported is dependent on the volume of silo and the different silo dimensions. Common methods of transport are ship, truck or train.
VEGAFLEX 82 TDR level sensor is the ideal solution for cement silos with dimensions up to 30 metres. VEGAFLEX 82 TDR lever sensor is suitable for the measurement of heavy bulk solids such as cement.
The strong cable of the cement silo sensor is able to still function with tensile forces up to 3 tons. The composition of the cement has no affect on the sensor so the data is reliably measured.

Level Sensors
In the oil and gas Industry measuring the mud flow in the return line is essential to stop solid matter from causing a blockage when the mud is flowing back from the borehole. The mud return system is carefully monitored to ensure there is no damage to the drilling head or interruptions to production.
VEGA VEGAPULS 62 allows a completely contactless and maintenance-free, mud flow measurement in the return line. The flow is determined by measuring the level in the pipeline. The level sensor is mounted parallel to the pipeline, so the microwaves are first deflected by 90° and then sent through an opening in the return line – hazardous area level sensors are also available.
In contrast to contacting measuring techniques, VEGA VEGAPULS 62 provides a totally wear and maintenance-free measurement. The mud flow in the return line remains unhindered since no bottlenecks are created by fittings or other parts of the sensor.

Level Sensors
An important component in the production of medicines is often the cultivation of micro-organisms or cells in the bioreactors.
Any contamination with other organisms can lead to the process failing so a high degree of hygiene is crucial.
VEGA level sensors can be used to provide accurate and continuous level and pressure measurement – a vital process to achieve a high quality end product.
The VEGAPULS 63 radar sensor with front-flush, encapsulated antenna can be optimally cleaned and is non-sensitive to the extreme conditions of the SIP and CIP processes. VEGAPULS 63 ensures the greatest possible utilization of the reactor volume, as the level measurement is not influenced by changing product and process conditions.
With its welded, 50 μm-thick Hastelloy diaphragm and aseptic LA process fitting, VEGABAR 55 level sensor is a reliable and hygienically optimal solution. The diaphragm easily handles both the chemical cleaning cycles and the thermal shocks after sterilization.
