Explosion Protection

Do you need to use your electronics near flammable liquids, gases or dust?

As a leading engineering service provider, we also realise your system for potentially explosive environments. We are the only service provider in Europe that offers expertise both for intrinsically safe (Ex-i) electronics and pressure resistant housings (Ex-d) from a single source. We offer explosion protection against both gases and dust.
