Ametek has expanded its 993X series gas analyzers (993X and 9933) with new explosion-proof (Ex d) enclosures certified for ATEX and IECEx Zone 1. The design enables reliable installation in hazardous locations without the need for purge gas, simplifying deployment where purge supply is unavailable or impractical.

How could purge-free, Ex d-certified analyzers impact your hazardous-area installation choices or maintenance strategies?

Going Ex d solves the purge-gas headache we fight in our solvent fill rooms, but how are routine calibrations and filter swaps handled when cracking the enclosure needs gas-freeing and a hot work permit? Do you provide external cal ports or a bypass, and is there a US Class I, Div 1/AEx d listing with a matching Ex-rated sample conditioning panel, plus an ambient/heat dissipation spec for washdown areas?

Ex d solves the purge-air headache, but we’ve found maintenance gets slower - de-energize and gas test to open, flamepath inspections, and strict cable gland specs can add real downtime. Do these 993X/9933 enclosures carry North American Class I, Div 1 (NEC 500/505) approvals with a published T-code, and is there an external cal/valve block option so techs can bump-cal without opening the housing?
