Avoid the RISK.
Specify ISCO Intrinsically Safe Flow Meters!

Why specify flow meters for collection system applications that aren’t intrinsically safe when there are fully approved, intrinsically safe flowmeters available from Teledyne ISCO? Why take the chance? Most importantly, why take the RISK.

Avoid the RISK and select one of our intrinsically safe products below. With the ISCO Ex line, rest assured you are using the right equipment for the right application while eliminating the RISK of placing flow meters that aren’t intrinsically safe into a hazardous environment.

You’d think mitigating RISK would come naturally, but far too often, we’ve seen situations that called for intrinsically safe instrumentation but didn’t stipulate it in the project specifications. Maybe it wasn’t known that an intrinsically safe product was available. Maybe the site wasn’t classified as a hazardous area (but should have been, in accordance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 820 standards). Maybe it was a case of trying to cut corners and pinch pennies — the
most dangerous reason of all. 

While there are regions of the world that classify wastewater collection systems as a hazardous area, not all do. They should. Regardless, to put safety first and eliminate RISK, all instrumentation equipment installed in a collection system should be rated intrinsically safe (please refer to NFPA 820). There are many other applications that should automatically call for intrinsically safe flowmeters, some obvious, some less so.

We urge you to consider RISK — and the Ex line — as you plan each installation. 

After all, why RISK it when there’s ISCO Ex?
