Division of explosion-proof areas in flammable dust environments -- Shenzhen Zhongnuo Testing Technology Co., Ltd.
Explosive atmospheres are classified based on the physical state of substances present at the location, into environments with explosive gases and flammable dust. According to the duration of presence of hazardous substances at the location, the hazardous areas under the two different physical states are divided into three zones.
For environments with combustible dust, it is designated as 20, 21, and 22 zones.
Areas in Zone 20 with continuous or long-term presence of flammable dust, typically exceeding 1000 hours per year.
Zone 21 - Areas where combustible dust environments may occur during normal operation, typically 10-1000h/y
Zone 22 - Under normal operation, flammable dust environments are unlikely to occur, nor are they occasionally present for a short duration; typically, occurrences are below 10h/year.
