Area of Application
Diaphragm pump explosion-proof models are intended for:
Aspirating, pumping and compressing neutral and aggressive gases and vapors.
Generating a vacuum down to an ultimate pressure < 8 mbar or < 2 mbar.
Aspirating, pumping and compressing an explosive atmosphere
– comprising air and
combustible gases, vapors and mists in any mix ratio
– from zone 1 areas at risk of ex-
plosion (device category 2 according to ATEX).
Installation and operation of the diaphragm pumps in zone 1 areas at risk of explosion
(device category 2 according to ATEX).
The permissible temperature classes and explosion groups of the atmospheres
– com-
prising air and combustible gases, vapors and mists in any mix ratio
– that are to be
pumped or which are ambient are determined according to the specifications of standard
EN 13 463-1. The diaphragm pumps mentioned here have been assigned to T4 IIB.
Substances that tend to decompose spontaneously, such as acetylene C
