Environments that have significant amounts of flammable\/explosive vapor or dust have an increased risk of catastrophic accidents. Without the proper equipment, something as small as a spark from an electronic device can set off a major explosion. To better understand the benefits of these instruments, it is first essential to know what they mean, where the certifications come from and what environments require them. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
What Does Intrinsically Safe Mean?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Intrinsically safe equipment must have components and connectors\r\nthat are incapable of producing sparks or heat under either normal or fault\r\nconditions that could cause ignition of an explosive atmosphere. Typically,\r\nvoltages and currents are kept at low levels. Equipment that requires voltages,\r\ncurrents and components that do not meet these conditions require an explosion-proof\r\ncertification in these environments.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Certifying agencies include international, national, and industry\r\nbodies. Most try to ensure their certifications are compatible with one another.\r\nSome major certifying agencies for intrinsic safety include:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
- Underwriters Laboratories<\/li>
- Canadian Standards Association<\/li>
- ATEX Directives \u2013 EU directives specify what equipment and workspaces are allowed in an environment with an explosive atmosphere<\/li>
- National Electrical Code (NEC)<\/li>
- National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) <\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
What Does Explosion Proof Mean?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
As with intrinsically safe certification, there are international,\r\nnational, and industry organizations that certify and specify explosion-proof\r\nsystems. Most organization specify both types of equipment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The NFPA\/NEC definition of \u201cexplosion-proof\u201d states that an apparatus should be enclosed in a case that can withstand an internal explosion from gas, vapor, or dust in an atmosphere. The apparatus inside the explosion-proof enclosure may employ voltages, currents, and temperatures well beyond those present in an internally safe system. The enclosure is designed so that the energy of an internal fire or explosion will not only be contained, but also be dissipated safely through the flanges or threads of enclosure connections.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Industries\r\nthat Need Intrinsically Safe or Explosion Proof Equipment<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Many industries and businesses operate in environments where flammable\r\nor explosive atmospheres form through gases, vapors, or dust. They include:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
- Chemical Refining<\/li>
- Oil and Gas<\/li>
- Power Generating <\/li>
- Petroleum and Gas Handling Facilities and Petrochemical Plants<\/li>
- Military<\/li>
- Aerospace<\/li>
- Industries Using Flammable Liquids for Operations<\/li>
- Dry Cleaning Plants<\/li>
- Fuel Servicing Areas<\/li>
- Feed Mills<\/li>
- Metal smelting and Refining Plants<\/li>
- Plastics Manufacturers<\/li>
- Producers of Pharmaceuticals and Sugar<\/li>
- Plants Handling Carbon Dust or Graphite<\/li>
- Textile Mills<\/li>
- Flax Processing Plants<\/li>
- <\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
These Industries are just a small example of how hazardous atmospheres are present during regular operations. Care must be taken to prevent any ignition source from being introduced. To avoid the hazards and costs of hot-work permits and unit shutdowns, implementing solutions with explosion-proof and intrinsically safe equipment is often the solution to alleviate operational, process control, safety and security concerns.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
What Intrinsically\r\nSafe Products Are Best for My Inspections?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Berg Engineering offers a range of CorDEX intrinsically safe\r\nthermal imaging cameras and the Labino MidBeam Hercules Ex explosion-proof UV\r\ninspection lamp as safe solutions for inspection equipment needed in hazardous\r\nenvironments. We also offer additional explosion-proof and intrinsically safe\r\ndevices for other applications including other lights and accessories.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Intrinsically Safe Thermal Imagers and Cameras<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
All objects at temperatures above absolute zero emit thermal\r\nradiation, mostly in the form of infrared radiation (IR) or infrared light. The\r\nwavelength of IR is between 700 nanometers and 1 millimeter, placing it between\r\nvisible light and microwave radiation on the electromagnetic spectrum.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Infrared is not normally visible to humans, so using a thermal\r\nimaging camera is a way to capture physical representations of the subject\u2019s temperature.\r\nThe camera can detect temperatures and \u201chot spots\u201d that are different in\r\ntemperature from their surroundings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Thermal Imaging Can Be Helpful for for a Wide Range of Applications<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
- Preventive Maintenance: <\/strong>Thermal cameras can easily detect abnormal hot spots on operating equipment or pipelines. Bearings, pumps, motors, and HVAC equipment can all benefit from thermal imaging.<\/li>
- Electrical and Electronic Equipment: <\/strong>Abnormal current flows in circuit boards, or other equipment will lead to localized hot spots that are easily visible through thermal imaging. It can detect defective connections, overheated components, or malfunctioning solar cells or panels.<\/li>
- Energy Audits: <\/strong>Thermal imagers are excellent tools for energy audits for buildings or equipment. They can identify locations of heat loss that can be insulated better, saving money and pollution.<\/li>
- Hydraulic Systems: <\/strong>Thermal cameras can find potential failure points in hydraulic systems, as these will tend to give off heat.<\/li>
- Pipes and Ducts: <\/strong>Thermal imaging can be used to identify leaks and blockages.<\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
All these applications can be in hazardous atmospheres that demand\r\nintrinsically safe or explosion-proof thermal imaging tools. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
