Model Code of Safe Practice 15 Area classification for installations handling flammable fluids. 4th edition

Publication Year

2015

Document Status

Current

Abstract

Presents guidance on classifying areas around equipment handling or storing flammable fluids, and provides a basis for the selection of fixed electrical equipment and the location of other fixed sources of ignition. Offers three complementary approaches for classification: the direct example approach, the point source approach, where release rates are dependent on process conditions, and the risk-based approach, an optional methodology for secondary grade releases which may reduce the extent of the hazardous area determined by the point source approach. Updated with clarifications and information from research since the 3rd edition was published.

Document History

Supersedes MCSP 15 Area classification code for installations handling flammable fluids. 3rd edition (EI, 2005).
