ATEX Certified Linear Position Transducers and Pressure Sensors Meet Hazardous Environment Requirements for the European Market

When selecting a specific LVDT linear position transducer or pressure sensor for the European market, sensor users must be fully aware of the intended environment and location of its application.  Sensors certified domestically are not necessarily acceptable for use overseas, especially in hazardous areas such as those found in oil and gas applications, nuclear power plants, subsea as well as mining.  In many countries, sensors must comply with specific national requirements to ensure safety and prevent accidents or disasters. 

Macro Sensors’ latest blog discusses the need for ATEX certification for sensors specified for use within potentially explosive atmospheres within the European market. It can be downloaded at:
