In plants processing flammable materials, every effort is made to avoid the escape of such materials and in addition, stringent measures are taken to exclude sources of ignition. A complex array of standards surround this topic which has lead to an overly conservative approach being taken. This type of approach means that much more expensive electrical apparatus than is necessary is installed. To avoid this unnecessary expenditure, Dr Groh clearly explains the relevant standards, so that accurate assessment of the risks associated with hazardous areas is possible. He also identifies possible ignition sources and methods of designing apparatus which do not cause sparks thereby maintaining safety. * Covers must-have information regarding IEC/CENELEC standards in electrical or hazardous area classification * Provides a clear overview of a complex areaElectronic reproduction.Amsterdam :Elsevier Science & Technology,2007.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Web browser.Title from title screen (viewed on Aug. 2, 2007).Access may be restricted to users at subscribing institutionsMine gasesFiredampExplosionsSafety measuresExplosionproof electric apparatus and appliancesChemical plantsSafety measuresElectronic books.localOriginal07506477799780750647779(OCoLC)55610269Referexhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780750647779An electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for information.b1365201103-03-2224-01-08991003228799707536Explosion protection1213402UNISALENTOle02624-01-08m@ -engne 00
