9 Definition: MESG MESG (Maximum Experimental Safe Gap) - The maximum clearance between two parallel metal surfaces that has been found, under specified test conditions, to prevent an explosion in a test chamber from being propagated to a secondary chamber containing the same gas or vapor at the same concentration. 9
10 Definition: MIC Ratio MIC (Minimum Igniting Current) Ratio - The ratio of the minimum current required from an inductive spark discharge to ignite the most easily ignitable mixture of a gas or vapor, divided by the minimum current required from an inductive spark discharge to ignite methane under the same test conditions. 10

34 ORDINARY LOCATIONS REQUIREMENTS For all equipment: Risk of Fire Risk of Electric Shock Special Applications: Environmental Ratings Marine Ratings Signaling/Fire Alarm 34
35 OTHER HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS REQUIREMENTS Some examples of requirements that may apply to multiple protection techniques include: Marking/Labeling Static Electricity Thermal Shock on glass parts Vibration Test 35
36 EXPLOSIONPROOF EQUIPMENT Equipment that has an enclosure capable of: withstanding an explosion of a specified gas or vapor that is expected to occur within the enclosure, preventing the ignition of a specified gas or vapor surrounding the enclosure due to sparks, flashes or explosion of the gas or vapor within the enclosure, and operating at an external temperature that will not ignite a specified gas or vapor surrounding the enclosure 36
37 Enclosure with enlarged gap, ready for an explosion test
38 4 5 Each frame = 1/2000 seconds 6 38
39 WITHSTANDING THE PRESSURE OF AN EXPLOSION The ability of an enclosure to withstand an explosion without rupture or permanent distortion is dependent upon: the strength of the enclosure material, and securement means, such as bolts 39
40 WITHSTANDING THE PRESSURE OF AN EXPLOSION (CON T) The strength of the enclosure material and securement means is determined by the following requirements: type of metal or metal alloy (zinc & magnesium are not allowed) type of plastic (including resistance to chemical atmospheres) casting/molding design minimum thickness hydrostatic pressure testing 40
41 PREVENTING THE IGNITION OF SURROUNDING ATMOSPHERE DUE TO PROPAGATION The ability of an enclosure to prevent ignition of a specified gas or vapor surrounding the enclosure is dependent upon the ability of any path from the interior to the exterior of the enclosure (or flame paths) to: prevent the escape of any flames, sparks or hot particles capable of ignition, and sufficiently cool the vented material 41
42 PREVENTING THE IGNITION OF SURROUNDING ATMOSPHERE DUE TO PROPAGATION (CON T) The suitability of these flame paths to prevent ignition is determined by the following requirements: Joint widths and clearances Shaft lengths and clearances Thread engagement Explosion testing 42
43 EXPLOSIONPROOF JOINT REQUIREMENTS More Restrictive than Flameproof May be: Flat Threaded Rabbet (Spigot) Labyrinth Cylindrical 43
44 JOINT COMPARISON EXAMPLE Group C (IIB) Enclosure Volume 2000 cm³ (122 in³) Explosionproof Flameproof Width 19.1 mm (3/4 in) 12.5 mm Clearance 0.05 mm (0.002 in) 0.2 mm 44
45 EXPLOSION TESTS: Minimum 10 Tests Covers the Explosive Range Covers both Reference Pressure and Non-transmission 45
46 TEST GAS MIXTURES Group A Acetylene 5-20% Group B Hydrogen 15-35% Group C Ethylene 4-9 % Group D Propane 3-7 % 46
47 Explosion Testing The custom built, Process Control and Gas Monitoring Panel enables the technician to fully control tests from outside the test room. Remote video cameras connected to monitors on top of the control panel, allow the technician to view the device under test. The entire test area is also monitored (video & audio) to ensure that nobody is in the room before conducting a test. With these features in place, personnel safety is maximized. The test area has been accident free in its four decades of operation. 47
48 48
49 The device under test is placed inside a wood chamber and is set-up with inlet & outlet connections to introduce explosive gas-air mixtures through the device and the wood chamber. Pneumatically actuated valves are used to isolate the explosive gas-air mixture in the device from the explosive gas-air mixture in the wood chamber. 49
50 A thin sheet of clear plastic is installed over the wood chamber and provides a seal to maintain an explosive atmosphere within the chamber, and also enables the device to be viewed during the testing process. If the explosive atmosphere within the wood chamber ignites, the pressure from the explosion will vent out through the clear plastic cover which will prevent the explosion from destroying the wood chamber. A spark plug is used to ignite the explosive mixture within the device. The spark plug is placed at a location in the device where an arc may occur from electrical components or wiring that would normally be present in the device. 50
51 Quartz Piezoelectric pressure transducers are installed into the device under test and connected to an oscilloscope for the purpose of measuring the internal explosion pressure developed during the explosion test series. The maximum pressure obtained from the test series will be used to further test the strength of the device after the explosion test series. 51
52 HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE TEST The device must withstand a hydrostatic test based on the maximum explosion pressure No rupture or permanent distortion For example: maximum explosion pressure of 100 PSI = 400 PSI hydrostatic test for 10 seconds 52
53 PREVENTING THE IGNITION OF SURROUNDING ATMOSPHERE DUE TO TEMPERATURE The ability of an enclosure to prevent ignition of a specified gas or vapor surrounding the enclosure is also dependent upon how heat- producing components within the enclosure affect the temperature on the external surface of the enclosure. 53
54 PREVENTING THE IGNITION OF SURROUNDING ATMOSPHERE BY TEMPERATURE (CON T) The affect of these internal heat-producing components is determined by the following requirements: temperature testing (determines Temperature Class) marking of Temperature Class (T-Code) restriction that T-Code must be less than the autoignition temperature of surrounding atmosphere 54
