Specification
The typical Pyroban explosion protection kit is suitable for use in hazardous areas where explosive gases occur (ATEX directive 2014/34/EU).
When properly installed, the kit provides protection to:
- Equipment Group: II
- Category: 3G
- Gas Group: IIA
- Temperature Class: T3
Conformance to the Temperature Class is dependent on ambient operating temperatures so the installed kit must be tested in a safe operating zone before use in a hazardous area.
For ambient operating temperatures above 45°C consult your customer services representative.
ATEX-designed and tested exhaust system, compliant to EN 1834-1
