In the world of industrial automation, "safety" isn't just a checkbox—it’s a legal and operational mandate. For industries handling flammable gases, petroleum, or volatile chemicals, the difference between a standard valve and a PESO-certified flameproof valve can be the difference between seamless production and a catastrophic site failure.

At Fluidtecq Pneumatics Pvt. Ltd., we have spent over 35 years perfecting the engineering behind pneumatic-operated valves. As an ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer, our commitment to quality is backed by the most stringent regulatory approvals in India, including the Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation (PESO).

What is PESO Certification and Why Does It Matter?

PESO (formerly CCOE) is the nodal agency in India that regulates the safety of hazardous substances. For a valve to be labeled "Flameproof," it must be designed to contain any internal explosion without igniting the surrounding hazardous atmosphere.

The Fluidtecq Edge:

Our Flameproof Auto Drain Valves and Solenoid Valves are rigorously tested and certified. When you see the PESO mark on a Fluidtecq product, it signifies:

  • Legal Compliance: Mandatory for operating in oil, gas, and chemical sectors in India.

  • Engineered Integrity: Specifically designed to withstand voltage fluctuations and harsh environmental stressors.

  • Operational Reliability: Validated test reports from CIMFR (Central Institute of Mining and Fuel Research) ensure the housing is truly explosion-proof.


Target Industries: Where Safety is Paramount

Fluidtecq’s PESO-certified flameproof valves are the trusted choice for "Zone 1" and "Zone 2" hazardous areas across:

  • Oil & Gas Refineries: Managing fuel and gas flow with zero-leakage assurance.

  • Chemical & Petrochemical Plants: Handling aggressive and volatile media.

  • Pharmaceuticals: Ensuring safety in solvent storage and processing areas.

  • Power Plants & Coal Handling: Preventing dust-ignition and protecting critical infrastructure.

  • Fertilizers & Pesticides: Managing hazardous gas lines and pneumatic conveying.
