Ring is pleased to announce the launch of its ATEX Torch, specifically engineered and designed to be intrinsically safe for use in hazardous locations, by preventing a source of ignition. With a rating IIC T4 it classed as zone 0 Hazard safe and so is suitable for use in work areas containing gases and vapours such as Acetylene Hydrogen and in temperatures up to 135oC.
To prevent any source of ignition Ring’s ATEX torch has two key features. The first is that it includes a gas release valve built into torch handle, so the battery is not exposed to hazardous vapour. The second feature is that there is a fastener that locks the torch head and prevents lamp exposure in hazardous conditions.
The torch itself has a tough robust construction and a virtually unbreakable polycarbonate lens to ensure that it withstands the tough working conditions it will be found in. It also produces 200 lumens output for a bright illuminated work area. From the 4 x AA batteries the torch has an operating time of 50 hours.
Ring’s ATEX torch provides the solution for business owners to take the necessary precautions to protect their employees and make hazardous working environments as safe as they can be.
