Pyromation Achieves CSA Certification for Non-Incendive Temperature Sensors

Pyromation has secured CSA certification for multiple hazardous-location temperature sensor assemblies, including thermocouple and RTD configurations. The certification covers three key product groups: sensor assemblies with extension lead wire, remote mount assemblies, and heat tracing assemblies.

These CSA-certified assemblies are approved for use in hazardous locations designated as Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D; Class II, Division 2, Groups F, G; Class III, Division 2; Class I, Zone 2, Group IIC; Zone 22, Group IIIB; and Zone 22, Group IIIA with non-incendive field wiring. The assemblies are evaluated and certified to ensure they cannot become an ignition source during normal operation in both Class I hazardous gas environments and Class II/Zone 22 dust environments.

Non-incendive protection eliminates the possibility of ignition during normal operation rather than containing explosions after they occur. This approach provides industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and food production with reliable temperature monitoring solutions that meet stringent safety requirements for both the United States and Canada.

The certified assemblies are available in various designs with multiple options and terminations, meeting ingress protection standards with ratings that vary by assembly type. This certification demonstrates Pyromation's commitment to providing safe, compliant temperature sensing solutions for hazardous environments where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dust may be present.
