Intrinsically Safe Weighing Scales

An intrinsically safe weighing scale is a device designed specifically for hazardous areas and corrosive environments. This type of scale is explosion proof, resistant to extremely high temperatures and will function in the harshest environments. Our scales take safety that extra step. An intrinsically safe scale is considered safe when its design is such that it is incapable of releasing enough energy to ignite flammable or combustible atmospheric mixtures in their most easily ignitable concentrations. In short, an intrinsically safe device eliminates the conditions for an explosion no matter what the circumstances.

Fairbanks Intrinsically Safe Crane Scale	FBS 2800 Series Intrinsically Safe

The Fairbanks Intrinsically Safe Crane Scale is specifically designed for hazardous and corrosive environments. With a rated capacity of 1000 lbs this scale is ideal for hazardous work areas in a warehouse or industrial plant environment. It is approved for all classes, groups and divisions of the N.E.C. Hazardous Environment classifications. Can be serviced in the hazardous area without declassifying.	FBS 2800  Series Intrinsically Safe Instrument and Remote Display for Hazardous Area The Fairbanks Intrinsically safe FBS 2800 Series Indicator can be interfaced with a Remote Display in the hazardous area via fiber optic. Remote tare and auto zero functions are also available. The 2800 indicator can be connected to a variety of platform sizes.
QuickSilver Intrinsically Safe Weighing Scale	Sartorius IS Explosion Proof Scales

QuickSilver Intrinsically Safe Weighing Scales The all-new Quicksilver IS (Intrinsically Safe) Bench Scale is designed specifically for explosive environments where low energy usage during normal operation is a must. Standard equipment battery pack allows for ultimate mobility, while sanitary design makes the Quicksilver IS Bench Scale perfect for wash-down environments.	Sartorius IS Explosion Proof Scales The Sartorius IS explosion proof scale offers high resolution performance for use in hazardous zones with potentially explosive gas or dust. They are often used in special applications like paint mixing and gas cylinder weighing. Readability: 3,000 e or 2 x 3,000 e (verifiable) or 15,000 d or 30,000 d (not for legal metrology). Weighing capacity: 0.62 to 300 kg. IP54 protected.

Using special components, materials, ratings and component layouts, all the electric circuits and interconnected cables are designed so that there is no chance of a spark or any ignition under fault conditions. In order to make their scales as safe as possible, a scale manufacturer will try to limit the voltage, current or any storable energy. Our intrinsically safe design combined with explosion proofing provides a protection system that gives the user unbeatable safety while offering the cost-efficiency of on-site weight indication.

Advantages
Intrinsically safe weighing scales can be calibrated and maintained without any interruption in power, they allow you to use general purpose wiring methods for connecting the scale to a power source, and there is no need for safety permits for the surrounding area because you won't have to shut down the power for servicing.

Applications
An intrinsically safe weighing scale is considered safe in those locations where hazardous concentrations of flammable gases or vapors exist, where there are combustible or electrically conductive dust or fibers or where there might be hazardous gases due to equipment failure, i.e., breakdown of containers or ventilation equipment. These scales are also to be used wherever there might be acetylene , hydrogen, gases or vapors of equivalent hazard, such as manufactured gas, ethyl ether vapors, ethylene or cyclopropane, gasoline, hexane, naptha, benzine, butane, propane, alcohol, acetone, benzol, lacquer solvent vapors or other natural gases.

Grain Elevators: - a grain elevator, for example, often contains combustible dusts. A spark in a non-explosion-proof scale could ignite an elevator-wide explosion. However, with and explosion-proof indicator, the spark (or even an explosion) is contained within the case. The hazardous atmosphere cannot be ignited, and the elevator is protected.
