3.5
explosion protected enclosure
enclosure, the mechanical integrity of which is considered essential for, and is examined in detail for, Its certification or acceptance for use In a hazardous area
3.6
explosive limits
3.6,1
lower explosive limit (LEL)
concentration of flammable gas, vapour or mist in air, below winch an explosive gas atmosphere will not be formed [1EV 426-02-09)
3.6.2
upper explosive lmit (UEL)
concentration of flammable gas, vapour or mist in air, above which an explosive gas atmosphere will not be formed (1EV 426-02-10)
3.7
explosive gas atmosphere
mixture with air, under atmospheric conditions, of flammable substances in the form of gas, vapour or mist, In which, after Ignition, combustion spreads throughout the unconsumed mixture [1EV 426-02-03)
3.8
flameproof enclosure ‘Sd’
type of protection of electrical apparatus in which the enclosure will withstand an internal explosion of a flammable mixture which has penetrated into the interior, without suffering damage and without causing ignition, through any joints or structural openings in the enclosure. of an external explosive atmosphere consisting of one or more of the gases or vapours for which It is designed 11EV 426-0601)
NOTE — PEC 60079l specifies the conslructoflaJ leatures and test reQuirements for apparatus usinQ this method of protection.
flammable gas or vapour
gas or vapour which, when mixed with air In certain pfoportions, will form an explosive gas atmosphere (IEC 60079-10, 2.14)
3.10
flammable liquid
liquid capable of producing a flammable vapour or mist under any foreseeable operating conditions (IEC 6007910. 2.13 modified)
flammable material
material consisting of flammable gas, vapour, liquid andlor mist (IEC 60079-10. 2.12 modified)
3.12
flammable mist
droplets of flammable liquid, dispersed In air, so as to form an explosive atmosphere.
