Oil and Gas
Oil and gas operations, from upstream exploration to downstream refining, demand components that perform in extreme temperatures, pressures, and hazardous zones. Standex Detect delivers certified, rugged reed switches, sensors, and relays that ensure safety and reliability in mission-critical environments.
Built for the Field: Reed Switches, Sensors, and Relays That Withstand the Harshest Conditions
Tough Enough for the Task: Components That Endure
Oil and gas operations demand components that can perform reliably in some of the most extreme and hazardous environments on Earth. From offshore platforms to refineries, systems must maintain precision and safety under conditions involving explosive gases, high pressures, and corrosive elements.
Our sensors, relays, and optocouplers are engineered for use in ATEX and IECEx environments, delivering long-term durability, signal integrity, and intrinsically safe operation in volatile conditions.
The following are core technology applications that support safe and reliable operation in oil and gas systems:
Core Capabilities for Oil & Gas:
- Valve and actuator position sensing: Reed switches provide sealed, intrinsically safe feedback.
- Power switching in hazardous zones: Relays designed for high-load, explosion-proof applications.
- Signal isolation in control systems: Optocouplers protect against electrical surges and EMI.
- Environmental resilience: Components resist corrosion, vibration, and thermal stress.
- Custom assemblies: Tailored for integration into drilling, pumping, and refining systems.
