Additional Information

Dust Ignition Prevention

Combustible dust can be ignited by electrical equipment in several ways, for example by: - Surfaces of the equipment that are above the minimum ignition temperature of the dust concerned. - The temperature at which a type of dust ignites is a function of the properties of the dust;

Sources of Release & Grades of Release

Sources of release may originate from almost anywhere in the process or storage area of an explosive atmosphere site. Flammable materials may be released from pumps, pipes, flanges, valves, sampling points, or other similar equipment. The release may be caused for example by either process seal failure, leakage to flanged joints, ruptures to pipe work, spillage from over filling of floating roof storage tank (e.g. following faulty level switch reading), other mechanical failure, or an inadvertent operations error.

Zone Definitions

Under IEC rules explosive atmospheres are divided into three zones, or areas of risk (in the case of gas and vapour), and IEC 60079-10 recognises these as Zone 0, Zone 1 and Zone 2.
