Do online detectors on gas pipelines need to be explosion-proof? Some people say it’s not necessary; I’m not sure if there are any relevant regulations. Please advise
I’m not sure about this either; let’s see what the experts say and learn from it in the process*
For online monitoring instruments, they are definitely installed on the pipeline or very close to it. What areas do you think should be designated in that zone? It shows that explosion protection is required.
If the area where the instruments are installed is classified as an explosion-proof zone, explosion-proof instruments must be used. The definition of explosion-proof areas is in accordance with GB50058
This definitely needs to be explosion-proof, installed online, and it’s also a gas pipeline – safety cannot be ignored
Gas pipelines located outside an individual’s building definitely fall outside the scope of explosion protection. Of course, for an accurate determination, it is best to consult the process engineers, as they have standards for defining explosion-proof areas.
If the area where the instruments are installed is classified as an explosion-proof zone, explosion-proof instruments must be used. The definition of explosion-proof areas follows GB50058; this statement is approved
