IECEx certifications gain Michell world-wide approval for hazardous area analyzers

Rowley, MA: Michell Instruments has recently gained IECEx certification for its hazardous area certified range of moisture, hydrocarbon dew-point, oxygen and binary gas analyzers.
Adding this certification to the range means the analyzers now have approvals for installation in hazardous areas around the world.

The complete set of approvals for the Exd range now include:

  • IECEx – globally accepted and required by Australia and South Korea
  • ATEX – required in Europe
  • CSA – harmonized certification applicable in both USA and Canada
  • TC-TR Ex – required in the CIS zone (Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus)
  • Ukraine EX – required in Ukraine


Michell also has experience delivering complete analyzer systems conforming to Brazilian hazardous area certification, INMETRO.

The new certifications apply to Michell’s Condumax II Hydrocarbon Dew-Point Analyzer, Promet EExd moisture in process gases analyzer, Liquidew EExd, which analyses moisture in petrochemical liquids, the XTP601 oxygen analyzer and the XTC601 binary gas analyzer. This means that all Michell moisture, oxygen and hydrocarbon dew point applications, around the world can be covered by these analyzers.

Michell offer the world’s largest range of moisture and hydrocarbon dew point analyzers for the oil, natural gas, refining and power industries. As well as Exd certified analyzers, Michell also offer intrinsically safe options for measuring moisture on-line in liquids and gases – the Promet I.S. and the Liquidew I.S.
