AUMA ACTUATORS GET VA2 CERTIFICATION Gas Industry Standard (GIS)/VA2 speci fies the requirements for electric-powered actuators for use with two position (open/ closed) quarter turn valves manufactured to the requirements of GIS/V6. AUMA's range of SAEX and SAREX actuators, with the combination of explosion proof controls, are GIS/VA2 compliant. Explosion-proof devices must be used in plants where potentially combustible atmo spheres can occur. AUMA’s comprehensive range of VA2 approved devices is designed so they will not act as an ignition source, manufactured to exacting specifications to prevent the occurrence of ignition sparks or hot surfaces. The actuators are also qualified to receive high Safety Integrity Level (SIL) capability. Actuators manufactured to VA2 are suit able for use in areas in which an explosive gas atmosphere is likely to occur in normal operation; with atmospheres containing propane, or gases and vapors of equivalent that are equally hazardous.

AUMA’s actuators for hazardous loca tions are designed to meet the exacting requirements of the global oil and gas industry, combining the highest level of explosion protection, robust design, ease of operation and the latest trends in dig italization. The products provide safe and reliable valve automation across all applica tion sectors, including oil and gas produc tion, pipelines, tank farms and refineries. This class of actuators are IECEx certi fied for the highest gas group IIC, which includes highly flammable hydrogen. Actu ators are designed to withstand the harsh est environmental conditions, covering a particularly wide temperature range from –85°F to +167°F (–65°C to +75°C). auma.com
