3 - INMETRO CLASSIFICATION AND TEMPERATURES
The INMETRO certification requires the classification of the electrical equipment only.
Duplomatic supplies valves with INMETRO certified coils, suitable for application and installation in potentially explosive atmospheres.
The mechanical construction of the coil housing is made in order to ensure its resistance to possible internal explosion and to avoid any
explosion propagation to the outside environment, matching an “Ex d” type protection (explosion-proof coil).
Moreover, the solenoid is designed to maintain its surface temperature below the limits specified to the relevant class.
The supply always includes the operating and maintenance manual, that contains all the information needed for a correct use of the valve in
potentially explosive environment.
3.1 - INMETRO classification
Certificate of conformity: DNV 15.0094 X
The valves are suitable for applications and installations in potentially explosive atmospheres that fall within:
3.2 - INMETRO marking
There is a plate with the INMETRO mark on each coil.
Conformity marking to the INMETRO certification scheme
Temperature class / max surface temperature see par. 3.3
Ambient temperature range
EPL - protection level for electrical devices
Mb = for mines - having a "high" level of protection, which has
sufficient security that it is unlikely to become a source of ignition in
normal operation or during expected malfunctions in the time span
between there being an outbreak of gas and the equipment being de-
energized.
Gb = for explosive gas atmospheres - having a "high" level of
protection, which is not a source of ignition in normal operation or
during expected malfunctions.
Db = equipment for explosive dust atmospheres - having a "high" level
of protection, which is not a source of ignition in normal operation or
during expected malfunctions

equipment intended for use in areas in which explosive atmospheres caused by gases, vapours, mists or
air/dust mixtures are likely to occur occasionally.
INMETRO Mb *KBDM2
equipment intended for use in underground parts of mines as well as those parts of surface installations of
such mines likely to be endangered by firedamp and/or combustible dust.
This equipment is intended to be de-energised in the event of an explosive atmosphere.
