ATEX pressure sensor: What is an explosion-proof pressure sensor?

An explosion-proof pressure sensor, or pressure transmitter, is a pressure measurement device  that has been specially developed for use in hazardous areas. Our SMX and SMX2 sensors convert the measured pressure into a standardized 4-20 mA output signal that can be safely and reliably integrated into other systems. Thanks to intrinsic safety and ATEX, IECEx or CSA certifications, our explosion-proof pressure sensors can be used worldwide. 

How explosion-proof pressure transmitters work

Explosion-proof pressure sensors work by precisely detecting pressure changes, which, as mentioned earlier, they convert into a standardized 4-20 mA signal. Their intrinsic safety is ensured by special circuits that prevent sparks or heat from being generated in potentially explosive areas. In addition, integrated technologies for linearization and temperature compensation ensure that the measurement results remain stable and reliable even under extreme conditions. Pressure transmitters with explosion protection not only offer exact measurements, but also the highest level of safety in demanding environments. 

Where are explosion-proof pressure sensors used?

Our explosion-proof pressure sensors, as well as our level sensors (explosion-proof) and ATEX pressure switches, are used in various industries: 

  • Chemical industry: Monitoring of pressure processes in potentially explosive atmospheres. 
  • Oil and gas production: Safe pressure measurement in refineries and exploration. 
  • Food production: Compliance with strict safety regulations through reliable pressure control. 
  • Pharmaceutical industry: Precise pressure monitoring in sensitive production processes.
