Explosive atmospheres
GFT9 valves carry no ATEX marking, and there is no general approval for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. Whether a valve may be used in such an area is decided for the specific application, in the operator's own assessment. Chapter 3 of each manual lists the points it must cover. On request we provide the design data for it (materials, lining type, earthing path, exposed non-conductive surfaces) and review the case with you.
For chargeable media an antistatic PFA/AS lining is available — see PFA/AS (antistatic).
