Hazardous Area Classification involves analyzing environments where explosive gas atmospheres may occur to ensure the safe selection and installation of equipment, considering both electrical and non-electrical ignition sources.
Zones are determined based on the frequency and duration of explosive gas atmospheres.
Features
Comprehensive Analysis: Evaluates both electrical and non-electrical sources of ignition, including mobile equipment.
Zone Classification: Zones are defined based on the frequency and duration of explosive atmospheres.
Standards Compliance: Aligns with IS 5572, NFPA 497, 70, 499, IEC 60079-10-1, and IEC 60079-10-2 standards.
Equipment Selection: Ensures the correct selection and placement of electrical and instrumentation equipment according to IS 5571 and IEC 60079-0.
Layout Development: Develops hazardous area layouts based on area classification, guiding the safe installation of equipment. Zone determination considers release grade, area of release, and ventilation.
