ATEX approval awarded for Calibration Gas Generator
Range
Spantech Products Ltd (South Godstone, Surrey, UK) and ACD
(Tucson, AZ, USA) have announced the award of ATEX approval to their CAL 2000
range of Calibration Gas Generators, extending the use of these generators into
hazardous areas.
Since 1998, with their partner company ACD, Spantech have
provided portable calibration gas generators. Based on electrochemical gas
generation techniques these generators provide: Hydrogen Sulphide, Hydrogen,
Chlorine Dioxide, Chlorine, Hydrogen Cyanide and Hydrogen Chloride and all from
the same low-cost unit.
With no cylinder rentals and
at least 50 hours supply from each disposable cell the cost of gas is up to 50
times lower than with conventional cylinders. The systems feature fully
controllable flow rates and concentrations.
ATEX approval has been granted
for the Minibump product which is a pocket sized generator delivering short
bursts of gas for instrument checks and the CAL2000 range offering a wide range
of flow rate and other output options.
Additionally on 15 October, 2005 ISO 6145-11
(electrochemical generation) has been published, as an international standard.
The CAL 2000 is fully ISO compliant.
