hazardous area certificate

Document Type Information
Details and background about this document type.
Description
A document issued by a recognised independent authority certifying that a type test has satisfied the specified standards; e.g. ATEX, BASEEFA, PTB, UL, CSA, etc. Examples of ratings include 'intrinsically safe & explosion proof'.
Synonyms
  • CFIHOS ID
    CFIHOS-70000160
Equipment
Equipment that requires this document type.

Is a facilty for measure & control, including the main plant computerized operational system, where all process, utility and off site activities are monitored. The system may be located in the main control room. (e.g. PLC Programmable logic controller, DCS distributed control system, ENMC Electrical Network Monitoring and Control system).

equipment class

A detecting element that is intended to sense proximity.

equipment class

A position switch that is operated without mechanical contact with the moving part.

equipment class

A physical object that adds or removes mechanical energy to a fluid, either constantly or periodically.

equipment class

A manual control switch that is intended to switch when you push or touch the button.

equipment class

An element intended to determine a level based on high frequency electromagnetic waves.

A level transmitter that is producing a standardized electrical output signal based on the input signal from a radar type level sensor.

equipment class

A personal radiation monitor is a device that detects the presence of any radiation sources.

equipment class

A transceiver which has the methods of signalling through space, without connecting wires.

A level transmitter that is producing a standardized electrical output signal based on the input signal from radioactive level measurements.

A positive displacement compressor in which forced reduction of gas volume takes place by the movement of a displacing element in a cylinder or enclosure.

equipment class

A positive displacement pump which contains a displacing element intended to be moved in a reciprocating movement to exert pressure on a fluid, typically moving within a cylindrical space.

equipment class

A process instrument that records values represented by the input signal(s).

equipment class

An electric converter for converting an alternating current into a direct current.

equipment class

An analyser intended to determine the oxidation and reduction capability of material.

equipment class

A pressure transmitter where pressure is applied to one side of the sensor while the other side is open to atmosphere. The transmitter generate standardized output signal representing the measured value.

equipment class

A physical object that can be any electrical device, usually incorporating an electromagnet, whereby a current or signal in one circuit can open or close another circuit.

equipment class

A RTU, or Remote Terminal Unit is a device which interfaces objects in the physical world to a DCS or SCADA system by transmitting telemetry data to the system and/or altering the state of connected objects based on control messages received from the system.

A temperature sensing element that operate on the principle of changes in electrical resistance of pure metals (sintered semiconductor material) and are characterized by an almost linear positive change in resistance with temperature.

An orifice plate that is intended for use as a restrictor.

equipment class

A variable area flow meter which consists of a tapered tube of glass with a float inside that is pushed up by flow and pulled down by gravity.

equipment class

A positive displacement compressor in which compression displacement is effected by the positive action of rotating elements.

equipment class

A positive displacement pump that consists of a chamber containing gears, cams, screws, vanes, plungers or similar elements actuated by relative rotation of the drive shaft or casing and which has no separate inlet and outlet valves.

A detecting element that is intended to sense rotational speed.
