ATEX Certification - Manometers & Thermometer (liquid expansion)

ATEX Certification - Manometers & Thermometer (liquid expansion)

ATEX Certification - Manometers & Thermometer (liquid expansion)

(OP)
Dear All,

I'm new in this forum, hope to be able to help with my replies and I'm sure I'll get help from you!
At the moment I have a problem related to pressure indicator (manometer, mechanical) and thermometer (expansion fluid, very basic type): do they need really an ATEX approval, is it necessary for both cathegories?

Thank you!!

If they are not capable of causing an explosion by acting as a source of ignition, they shouldn't need ATEX approval. Based on what you stated, I'd say no.

If they're stand-alone indicating devices then probably not. If they have switching contacts for alarms / trips then they'll need certification.
