The challenge of transporting and weighing goods that are volatile or become hazardous in concentration, is a concern in many industries. Gases, vapors, mists, and combustible dusts can cause a work area to be classified as hazardous. Specific definitions and corresponding equipment safety regulations are set forth by numerous regulatory agencies across the world.
Safe DesignA key element in explosion protection is the limitation of possible ignition sources so the equipment is not capable of igniting a surrounding explosive atmosphere. METTLER TOLEDO has been providing weighing solutions for hazardous areas for over 20 years. These systems are designed with safety principles to meet the demands of these challenging environments.
