CorDEX Instruments has launched the LaserMETER-3000XP, a dynamic, custom-designed distance measurement tool for offshore workers. Personnel working on offshore high-risk rigs and installations currently must obtain special “hot work” permits to use standard electronic measuring devices. The handheld tool’s robust IP65 flameproof design is ATEX and IEC/Ex Zone 1 IIC T4 hazardous (explosive) area certified, making it ideal for high-risk rigs.
The laser meter has been built with a rugged industrial-grade construction. Because it is encased in tough aluminium, the tool can withstand harsh environments, accidental falls, or knocks. In addition, the tool has simple operating functions for workers in hazardous areas wearing protective gloves and offers quick and accurate distance, volume, and area measurements in explosive areas. www.cordexinstruments.com
