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 chemical facilities, hazardous locations
may be present due to liquids, gases, chemicals
and dust.
Typical hazardous locations include:
• Chemical plant process areas
• Booster stations and valve areas along pipelines
• Loading and unloading areas in terminals
• Storage areas for tanks, barrels and trucks
To protect both your employees and your facility,
Thomas & Betts offers a wide variety of high-
performance, explosion-proof solutions designed
to prevent or contain an explosion in classified
hazardous locations.
