  1. Intrinsically Safe Scales & Their Importance

  2. Many industries are required to handle, transport hazardous material for shipping or performing manufacturing processes. In most of these instances, electronic scales are used as they are easy to read. • But electrically operated weighing scales can be dangerous when handling hazardous materials. In order to make handling safe for individuals, industries prefer using ‘Intrinsically Safe’ weighing scales. • These scales are meant to be safer than their non-IS counterparts. Despite being closely familiar with the functionalities of intrinsically safe commercial weighing scales, many people fail to distinguish its peculiarities.

  3. What is ‘Intrinsically Safe’? • Intrinsically Safe is an approach with which weighing instruments will be working in prospective hazardous environments. For this purpose, designing systems to eliminate oxygen (by purging with inert gas) or isolating potential fire sources are the two options. • However, you would not be able to distinguish between an intrinsically safe scale and any other basic industrial scalefrom its physical appearance. Here internal construction is the key differentiating factor. When is Intrinsically Safe Equipment Required? • Hazardous environments demand instruments that are safe for the operator. Additionally, organizations have to comply with OHSA (Occupational Health and Safety Act) rules and regulations.

  4. Importance and Benefits of Using Intrinsically Safe Equipment • Weighing equipment that is intrinsically safe has various obvious advantages, the most important of which is safety. • Besides providing safety, these scales can prove to be cost-effective for industries, as they minimize the possibility of accidents. • Additionally, it saves you from the cost of upgrading your equipment from basic to advanced safety functionality. • Last but not the least, intrinsically safe weighing scales are easy to maintain and repair. Thus saving you from a lot of expenditure.
