Intrinsically Safe Industrial Scales

Manufacturing facilities that house and handle explosive or flammable materials often have a greater risk involved in their daily operations as well as a need to utilize equipment that is safe for use in these extreme environments.  Standard electrical equipment, like a scale, can become a source of ignition, depending on the circumstances, and in … Continued

Intrinsically Safe Weighing Systems

When it comes to the safe installation of electrical wiring and equipment, OSHA’s National Electric Code sets the standard in the U.S. Because many businesses’ daily operations require the use of chemicals and compounds that have the potential to ignite a fire or explosion, the Code also classifies these hazardous materials into several categories according … Continued

Intrinsically Safe Balances to Weigh Flammables

The manufacturing processes that require the use of flammable products such as gases or liquids of chemical compounds are carefully orchestrated. It is a distinct possibility that they could ignited at any time during the application. There are many potential combustible weighing situations that require the use of an intrinsically safe balance. Arlyn Scale’s Explosive … Continued

What Is Intrinsic Safety?

Manufacturing facilities come in different sizes with different equipment and wiring. They use different processes and different materials to manufacture various end products. With hazardous environments, you need to factor in intrinsic safety. Most manufacturing work environments are quite benign. The materials being used are not hazardous, or poisonous, or caustic or corrosive. They are … Continued
