Description
This book provides comprehensive coverage of electrical system installation within areas where flammable gases and liquids are handled
and processed. The accurate hazard evaluation of flammability risks associated with chemical and petrochemical locations is critical
in determining the point at which the costs of electrical equipment and installation are balanced with explosion safety requirements.
The book offers the most current code requirements along with tables and illustrations as analytic tools. Environmental characteristics
are covered in Section 1 along with recommended electrical installation and safety recommendations. Section 2 treats a number of application
illustrations in detail. Section 3 presents examples for the application of classifying NEC Class 1 locations.
Audience
All individuals involved with flammable liquids and/or gases interested in guarding their workspaces against explosion hazard. Industry
occupations associated with oil refineries, gas plants, flammable storage farms, storage tanks, tank vehicles, gas-manufacturing plants,
plastic manufacturing plants, chemical plants, and fossil fuel (combustible dust) facilities.
