I have a question regarding the temperature ranges and ignition temperatures of naphtha and gasoline The temperature groups for explosion-proof electrical equipment are as follows: T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6 – corresponding to temperatures of 450 ℃, 300 ℃, 200 ℃, 135 ℃, 100 ℃, and 85 ℃ respectively. The ignition temperature of naphtha is 350 ℃; why then is its temperature group T3 instead of T2? Also, what are the temperature group and ignition temperature for gasoline?

T3 should be safer. Reference.

Naphtha is a mixture, so its ignition temperature is not a fixed value; according to literature, the ignition temperature (°C) ranges from 232 to 288. Therefore, T3 is chosen instead of T2.
