This pump draws its name from the French title of the EU’s 94/9/ED, known as ATEX 95, directive on equipment and protective systems intended for use in a potentially explosive atmosphere in commercial and industrial applications.

They can handle liquids up to 104°C. Versions are available on request that can cope with temperature up to 194°C.
