ATEX Zone 1 Particle Counter — World First
Overview
The ATEX Zone 1 Particle Counter is the first of its kind, designed for real-time fluid contamination monitoring in hazardous environments. It integrates advanced particle and water sensing technologies with ATEX Zone 1 and IECEx certification, enabling safe, precise, and compliant measurements in explosive-risk zones.
Standards & Measurement Accuracy
• ISO 11171 compliant: Calibration traceability to the international standard for particle size distribution in hydraulic fluids, ensuring globally benchmarked reliability.
Sensor Suite
• Pamas HCB particle sensor: High-resolution detection of solid contaminants in fluids, trusted for hydraulic, fuel, and lubrication oil monitoring.
• Iocto NP330-F water sensor: Measures dissolved water content in fluids. Custom laboratory calibration to 50 ppm provides ultra-precise detection of free and dissolved water levels.
• Pamas HX particle sensor (aluminium case version): Designed for monitoring fuel oil, diesel B7, and Jet A1 aviation fuel.
Explosion-Safe Innovation
• Certified for ATEX Zone 1 and IECEx hazardous environments.
• Enables in-situ, real-time monitoring directly in explosive-risk zones, eliminating the need for external sample handling.
Industrial Impact
• Energy & Offshore: Safe condition monitoring of hydraulic and lubrication systems in oil & gas.
• Chemical Processing: In-situ monitoring without breaking containment.
• Aerospace/Defense: Ensures fluid reliability under extreme operational constraints.
• Water Security: Offshore desalination plants can now benefit from real-time particle and dissolved water measurement in ATEX environments, ensuring both process efficiency and water purity.
• Aviation: Aluminium-case version with Pamas HX sensor enables direct underwing deployment during aircraft refueling, providing contamination status at the point of fueling — a world first for aviation safety and ground operations.We provide a full range of Structural Engineering services, including design, analysis, and construction support.
