Wireless load cell: Straightpoint has launched an ATEX and IECEx version of its
most popular product—the Radiolink Plus wireless load cell. The new version is capable
of both weighing and dynamic load monitoring in hazardous environments such as the
on and offshore oil, gas, and chemical industries in zones classified 0, 1, and 2. The
explosion-proof product is assembled on a brand-new production line to ensure that
the manufacturer can continue to provide quick delivery to job sites around the world.
The Radiolink Plus wireless load cell is certified as meeting the Zone 0 classification (an
area in which an explosive gas atmosphere is present continuously or for long periods).
According to the company, most other wireless load cells are categorized only as hazardous as Zone 2 (an area in which an explosive gas atmosphere is not likely to occur in
normal operation and, if it occurs, will only exist for a short time).
The ATEX version of the load cell and wireless handheld unit contains several safety
components that permit its use in Zone 0 environments. A separate storage area has
been created at the company’s Havant, U.K., headquarters, and all production personnel
have been specially trained in the assembly of the explosion-proof units.
Straightpoint designed the Radiolink Plus for use in industries and applications where
products that meet the requirements of ATEX are required to work in extremely hazardous environments. (Straightpoint, www.straightpoint.com)
