The new and improved version of 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ® was introduced at ACHEMA Pulse in June. To take this cool instrument to the market it must be documented as being CE compliant.
Moreover, the new instrument was from the start designed in a version that can be used in ATEX Zone 2.
Now 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ has completed the assessment of conformity and we are ready to supply.
91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ – New Design
The new 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ represents the sum of the experience that 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ has gained in the market. 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ was first introduced in 2018, and many operating hours with many different liquids have inspired new ideas
The visible improvement is the smaller size of the instrument, as well as much lower weight, but the more important changes are all inside. The new 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ:
- Measures higher viscosities (up to about 50 mPa·s @ 10 s-1)
- Measures faster
- Is very silent (no external cooling fan)
- Is very easy connection (all hoses have push-in fittings)
- Is very fast self-cleaning
- Is gentle handling of the liquids – more reliable measurement of thixotropic liquids
CE Compliance
With CE compliance in place, 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ can sell 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ in Europe and other markets allowing the European standards.
91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ was assessed for safety and for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), which ensures that electrical and electronic equipment does not generate, or is not affected by, electromagnetic disturbance.
Also for ATEX Zone 2
Some viscous liquids contain volatile solvents, e.g., solvent borne coatings or adhesives.
Typically, that leads to a demand for Ex instruments that are certified for use in the classified area.
The Ex-version of 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ is 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ® FCX.
91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ FCX has no sources of ignition on the outside of the cabinet and inside the atmosphere is monitored by a highly sensitive gas detector. If the inside atmosphere reaches a preset safe level of flammable gas, the instrument powers off immediately.
Presently, 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ FCX is compliant for use in ATEX Zone 2 environments.
