High Pressure Connectors Europe has introduced two new intrinsically safe pressure sensors, the SCP10 and SCP11. Both the sensors are Atex certified and designed specifically for hazardous environments such as applications involving hydrogen.

High Pressure Connectors Europe, a division of Parker Hannifin, has recently announced the launch of two new intrinsically safe pressure sensors, the SCP10 and SCP11. These sensors are specifically designed for use in hazardous environments, particularly in applications involving hydrogen. Both sensors meet rigorous Atex certification requirements, ensuring safety and reliability in critical settings, shares the company.

The SCP10 pressure sensor is engineered for use with liquid and gaseous media in hazardous areas, while the SCP11 is specifically designed for hydrogen applications. Both sensors comply with Atex certification standards for Zone 0 (II 1G Ex ia IIC T4 Ga) and Zone 1 (II 2G Ex ia IIC T4 Gb). The SCP10 additionally meets requirements for Zone 0 (II 1G Ex ia IIB T4 Ga), adds the firm.

Utilizing a digitally calibrated piezoresistive stainless steel measuring cell, the SCP10 sensor can detect pressures ranging from 1 bar to 1000 bar. The SCP11 handles pressures from 4 bar to 1000 bar.

A notable feature of the SCP10 and the SCP11 sensors is their monolithic design, which eliminates the need for internal seals, material mixes, and weld seams. This design reduces the risk of leaks, associated with material fatigue at internal seals, and enhances the durability of the sensors, mentions the company. Additionally, the sensors are vacuum-tight and elastomer-free, contributing to longevity and reliability. The materials used in their construction ensure broad media compatibility, making them suitable for diverse industrial applications.

Importantly, the SCP11 sensor’s construction is designed to prevent embrittlement of the metal surface due to exposure to ionized hydrogen, opines the firm.

Both sensors have a compact stainless-steel housing that allows for space-saving installation, even in challenging environmental conditions. They offer a range of pressure options, output signals, and connectors, making them suitable for various industrial and mobile applications.

According to the company, the introduction of the SCP10 and SCP11 pressure sensors aims to enhance measurement technology for hazardous environments. By combining safety, durability, and precision, these sensors provide users with reliable solutions for operating in demanding conditions.
