There are two ways that equipment is made safe.
Either the equipment is located in a safe place
outside the hazardous location, or the equipment is
designed, installed and maintained to the standards
applicable to a hazardous location.
All codes define hazardous locations as areas where
the possibility of explosion and fire is created by
flammable liquids, gases, vapors, dusts, fibers or
flyings. In oil and gas facilities, hazardous locations
may be present due to liquids, gases or chemicals.
Typical hazardous locations include:
• Onshore and offshore drilling rigs
• Refineries and chemical plants
• Booster stations and valve areas along pipelines
• Loading and unloading areas in terminals
• Storage areas for tanks, barrels and trucks
To protect both your facility and your employees,
Thomas & Betts offers a wide variety of high-
performance, explosion-proof solutions designed
to prevent or contain an explosion in classified
hazardous locations.
