Issues and interpretations of the ignition risk rised from mechanical sparks in explosive atmospheres
(2009) Jurca, Adrian; Vătavu, Niculina; Sicoi, Sorin; Lupu, Leonard; Păun, Florin
The potential explosive zones are those industrial areas where there is a risk to be produced a mixture of air with gas, vapors, mists or combustible dust which can be ignited by the different ignition sources, resulting explosions which can produce life losses. The metallic materials of the equipment case or their components, from industrial installation, can become ignition sources by mechanical sparks and/or hot surfaces. The authors had identified and analyzed the ignition capacity by mechanical sparks on the main metallic materials and had established original solutions to prevent ignition of the explosive atmospheres.
