Hydraulics and pipe components specialist Stauff has presented its LPM-II-X, the newest generation of stationary particle monitoring devices[ds_preview] with ATEX2 certification.
The special ldesign of housing and connections allows for permament installation in explosion-prone areas. The device fulfilling all requirements for use in industries such as oil and gas.
The new version offers a large display in the front showing measurement values in real time. This allows the engineer on duty to immediately react to contaminations in the fluid. Thus, long downtimes and costly unscheduled shut downs are kept to a minimun.
The particle monitors of the LPM-II series, with and without ATEX certification, allow for a continuous monitoring and classification of the degree of impurity of mineral oil based fluids, diesel fuel or petroleum in eight channels of sizes between 4 m(c) and 70 m(c) according to ISO 4406:1999 and many other international standards. Devices compatible with aggressive substances as well as integrated water-in-oil temperature feelers are also available optionally.
The robust design of the LPM-II-CX’ housing hermetically seals the electronics on the inside from explosive outside atmospheres. The big data storage capability enables up to 4,000 standard measurements. The unit can be connected to existing systems via the Modbus- and CAN-Bus interface which comes as a standard feature.
