For flammable and explosive media, is it okay to use a regular pump for transportation? Do all such media require the use of shielded electric pumps?

As the title suggests: For flammable and explosive media, is it okay to use ordinary pumps for transportation? Do all such media require the use of shielded electric pumps?
Such things must not be disclosed. Shielded pumps and magnetically driven pumps are generally used. No ordinary pump is needed.
A regular pump is available; the motor is explosion-proof. For highly toxic and extremely toxic substances, shielded pumps and magnetically driven pumps should be used.
A regular pump is available; the motor is explosion-proof.
When selecting a pump, it is best to do so based on the physical and chemical properties of the material. Flammability and explosiveness are rather general concepts; different materials have different explosion-proof ratings. For some materials, it is possible to use ordinary pumps equipped with explosion-proof motors, as mentioned above, while for others only shielded pumps, magnetic pumps, diaphragm pumps, etc., can be used. Of course, it is essential that the motor itself has explosion-proof features.
Name of supplementary materials: The materials being transported are styrene and butyl acrylate.
There's no need; most chemical materials are toxic and harmful. Dangerous medium! Generally, the explosion protection for pumps refers to the explosion protection of the motor. For those that pose a greater risk, shielded electric pumps can be considered. The shielding electric pump from the Dalian Empire, as far as I know, is quite good; it could be considered for selection. The above are purely personal opinions
What was said upstairs is correct – the shielded electric pumps from Dalian Empire are indeed excellent; we have used them as well
Flammable and explosive fluids generally require protection against leaks, so it is best to use leak-proof pumps.
Use a shielded pump or magnetic pump; the motor is designed to be explosion-proof. There are also some materials that cannot be vigorously stirred during transfer, for which diaphragm pumps are used
In such cases, a shielded pump is the best choice. In fact, ordinary pumps can also meet the requirements, but an explosion-proof motor is necessary (the petrochemical industry generally uses flameproof types). Shielded pumps have their drawbacks as well; for example, the medium to be transported must be clean, and their flow rate and head capacity are limited.
