Suited for use where dangerous gases and vapors may exist, differential pressure (DP) gauges and flowmeters offer operating ranges from 5 in. of water to 1,000 psi DP and flow rates from 0-10 gpm. Switch and gauge-switch combinations with Class 1 - Div. 2 hazardous rating are available in DP models 1203, 1503, 1516, 1803, and 1833 as well as in flow models 2223 and 2323. Switches are SPST or SPDT and are housed in NEMA 4X watertight enclosures.
Original Press Release:
New Differential Pressure Gauges and Flowmeters Have Class 1 - Division 2 Hazardous Rating
MILFORD, CT -- New differential pressure gauges and flowmeters from Orange Research are designed for use where dangerous gases and vapors may exist. These products, with a Class 1 - Div. 2 (Group B, C and D atmospheres) rating, are a lower cost alternative to differential pressure and flow devices when the more stringent Class 1 - Div. 1 rating is not required.
The new products encompass the company's most popular DP and flow models, with operating ranges from 5" of water to 1,000 psi differential pressure and from 0 to 10 gallons per minute flow.
A Div. 2 rating means the new differential pressure gauges and flowmeters can be operated in atmospheres where hazardous concentrations of flammable gases or vapors exist only because of accidental rupture or breakdown of equipment. A Div. 1 rating allows operation where hazardous concentrations exist continuously, intermittently, or periodically under normal operating conditions. Other Orange Research Products qualify for this more stringent rating.
Switch and gauge-switch combinations with the Class 1 - Div. 2 hazardous ratings are now available in DP models 1203, 1503, 1516, 1803 and 1833 and in flow models 2223 and 2323. Switches are SPST or SPDT and are housed in NEMA 4X watertight (weatherproof) enclosures.
