Intrinsic safety: сompetitive Russian market.
02.2020
The technology of intrinsic safety provides for an acceptable level of safety in all areas. It is possible to assert that such a method of protection means more safety and is less prone to random errors as compared with other methods. So, alongside with flexible application of available apparatus and a possibility of live maintenance of equipment, the technology of intrinsic safety is a natural choice for measurement systems in hazardous areas. In particular, this is the only technique fully applicable in Zone 0.
An intrinsically safe circuit is a commonly accepted method of explosion protection, and intrinsically safe barriers make connection of instrument loops safe both in standard operational conditions, and in emergency situations. Safety barriers are based on the principle of limiting the amount of energy allowed to pass between safe and hazardous areas to a level that cannot ignite flammable atmospheres.

Knowledge gained on Instrumentation products and understanding of the market requirements of the end-users formed the basis, the foundation, which led to recognition of the fact that VSP main value comes from the nature of our work. Not a manufacturer, but having a certain expertise, the company has to act as a vehicle for solutions but not a supplier of a brand.

Instrumentation products: why do we need so many?
04.2019
Instrumentation products as a notion is rather extensive, covering a wide line of various products and even wider range of their application.
«The objects of the invention are to provide an improved coupling of simple form and capable of quantity production at low cost; to provide a very tight joint between the tube and coupling members, which will withstand practically any pressure without leaking and which eliminates or greatly reduces the undesirable effects of vibrational strains transmitted from tube to coupling. …»,
Arthur Parker wrote in February 1925 when filing the patent application for a two-piece flared tube fitting.
This wording for the fitting, as an example, is a practical reflection of the basic requirements for instrumentation products: advanced design, a possibility for precision serial production, efficiency under stringent operational conditions, reliability and safety.
Implementation of requirements, to some extent has laid the foundation for a certain standard for fittings which are being used in millions of applications.
