Class I—Locations in which flammable gases or vapors may or may not be insufficient quantities to produce explosive or ignitable mixtures. Group D—Atmospheres containing a flammable gas, flammable liquid-produced vapour, or combustible liquid-produced vapour whose MESG is greater than 0.75 mm or MIC ration is greater than 0.80. Typical gases include acetone, ammonia, benzene, butane,...Continue Reading
