Explosion-proof mark for KOSO positioner

Time2022-03-22 14:16 linkS:
  Koso Valve positioner, according to the structure, is divided into pneumatic valve positioner, electro-pneumatic valve positioner and intelligent valve positioner. It is the main accessory of the regulating valve and is usually used in conjunction with the pneumatic regulating valve. It accepts the output model of the regulator, and then uses it The output signal of the control valve is used to control the pneumatic control valve. When the control valve acts, the displacement of the valve stem is fed back to the valve positioner through a mechanical device, and the valve position is transmitted to the upper system through an electrical signal.



In the actual project about positioner, it is very important to determine the use environment. explosion-proof, waterproof and non-explosion-proof  area,which should be choose difference type koso positioner.

 
 
There are three types of Koso positioners according to their structure, one is outdoor waterproof type (IP65), one is Explosion proof type ( Ex md II CT6 ), and the other is  Intrinsically safe explosion proof type ( Exia II CT6 ).

The explosion-proof type is that the explosion-proof cavity is allowed to explode when it encounters sparks, but the sparks will not spread to the outside of the wall, and can only be used in Class 1 dangerous places, that is, the explosive gas exists continuously for 10-1000 hours a year, and cannot be used for 0 Class sites, marked as:

Ex md II CT6


Ex: International unified symbol for explosion-proof electrical
D: flameproof characteristic symbol
II: Explosive gas, steam, Class C clearance, test explosion current (equivalent to acetylene) in the factory
CT6:  explosive gas auto-ignition temperature grouping:
                                                       Group 6, 100℃ ≥T >85℃
                                                       Group 5, 135℃ ≥T >100℃
                                                       Group 4, 200℃ ≥T >135℃
 
 
The other is the intrinsically safe type, which has a special circuit designed inside, so that no spark will occur, which fundamentally eliminates the possibility of explosion.
It can be used in Class 0 hazardous places, that is, explosive gas exists continuously for more than 1000 hours in a year, and of course can be used in all places of Class 1 or below, marked as:
 
Ex ia II CT6
 
Ex: International unified symbol for explosion-proof electrical
Ia: Intrinsically Safe Characteristic Symbol
II: Explosive gas, steam, Class C clearance, test explosion current (equivalent to acetylene) in the factory
T6: explosive gas self-ignition temperature group:
                                                    Group 6 ,100℃≥T>85℃
                                                    Group 5, 135℃ ≥ T>100℃
                                                    Group 4, 200℃ ≥ T >135℃ 
 


If the use environment is explosive gas, it is safer and simpler to use koso PP800 gas, and other occasions can use KOSO EP800 electrical positioner to control the advantages of better accuracy.
