ATEX / Hazardous Area Weighing

Few activities in industry need as much care as weighing material in hazardous areas. ATEX and IECEx rules specify hazardous-area weighing processes and procedures that keep employees and equipment safe. At Scales & Balances, we supply a range of Zone 1 & 2 hazardous-area weighing equipment suitable for potentially explosive work spaces, including those in the oil & gas, chemical processing, waste management, mining, and defence sectors. Controlled environments mean only approved scales and balances with zero spark risk are generally considered safe. The good news is that we have a range of electronic and mechanical scales suited to the task. You’ll find details of our ATEX & IECEx hazardous-area weighing equipment here online. Of course, should you need a bit of extra help, our team of experts can guide you through the rules and regulations and help you choose the best equipment for your requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hazardous-area weighing equipment should be used wherever there is a risk of explosion in a flammable atmosphere, such as those in chemical plants, pharmaceutical production processes, oil and gas facilities, manufacturing environments prone to dust or vapour, defence establishments, or sites handling powders.

Any hazardous-area equipment ought to be ATEX or IECEx compliant and feature robust, sealed, zero-spark construction using intrinsically safe, explosion-proof components. Ease of cleaning, clear displays, and compatibility with existing systems are also important considerations.

ATEX and IECEx are international standards. They define how equipment, including scales and balances, can be safely used in hazardous areas. They specify design, testing, and certification requirements to reduce the risk of ignition.

The accuracy of hazardous-Area scales and balances varies depending on the equipment type and application. When correctly specified, installed, and calibrated, hazardous-area weighing equipment delivers good results.

Certified hazardous-area weighing solutions are typically specialised in nature, so pricing can vary widely depending on the type and specification you choose. Requesting a quote from our team is the best way to understand costs.

Lead times depend on the specification and availability of certified components. Some standard hazardous-area products may be available quickly, while bespoke or highly specialised systems can take longer. Contact our sales team early to confirm current delivery options.
