Hazardous Area Zones and Equipment Suitability
Understanding hazardous area classifications helps users select suitable maintenance equipment for specific applications.
| Hazardous Zone | Description | Suitable Equipment |
|---|---|---|
| Zone 0 | Explosive gas continuously present | Highest protection equipment |
| Zone 1 | Explosive atmosphere likely during operation | High protection Ex equipment |
| Zone 2 | Explosive atmosphere present occasionally | Standard hazardous area equipment |
| Zone 20 | Continuous combustible dust presence | Dust-certified equipment |
| Zone 21 | Occasional combustible dust presence | Enhanced dust protection |
| Zone 22 | Temporary combustible dust presence | Controlled environment operation |
Temperature Classes and Typical Industrial Applications
Temperature classes indicate the maximum surface temperature that equipment can reach during operation in a hazardous area. Selecting the correct temperature class is important because the equipment surface temperature must always remain below the ignition temperature of the surrounding gas, vapor, or dust. Understanding temperature classifications helps engineers and buyers choose safe, compliant, and suitable ATEX, Explosion Proof, Intrinsically Safe, and Hazardous Area equipment for their application.
| Temperature Class | Maximum Surface Temperature | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|
| T1 | 450°C | Suitable for selected industrial maintenance and servicing applications. |
| T2 | 300°C | Commonly used in process industries requiring reliable maintenance equipment. |
| T3 | 200°C | Suitable for hazardous area inspection and maintenance activities. |
| T4 | 135°C | Commonly specified for ATEX Maintenance Toolkits, Explosion Proof Service Tool Kits, and Intrinsically Safe Maintenance Equipment. |
| T5 | 100°C | Suitable for sensitive gas environments requiring lower equipment surface temperatures. |
| T6 | 85°C | Used in highly sensitive hazardous locations where maximum protection is required. |
