6、 FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION ORDISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM ULINTRODUCTION1 Scope1.1 These requirements cover electrically heated insulated covers for compressed gas cylinders for usein Class I, Hazardous (Classified) Locations. The use is limited to high pressure cylinders containing onlymixtu

7、res of non-toxic flammable materials for laboratory or analyzer use in which some of the constituentsin the high pressure cylinder require heating above room temperature to ensure a uniform gas mixture.These products are intended for use in specialized commercial and industrial facilities, where saf

8、eoperations are addressed by responsible parties at the installation. These considerations include ambienttemperature control, assessment of the suitability of the tank and its contents to be used with the heaters,safety coordination associated with any releases due to elevated pressure, and similar

9、 aspects of safeusage. Refer to the US Code of Federal Regulations, Title 29, Subtitle B, Chapter XVII, Part 1910,Subpart H, Section 1910.101, Compressed Gases (general requirements), regarding the control and useof compressed gas cylinders.1.2 These requirements cover electrically heated insulated

10、covers intended for use in accordance withthe National Electrical Code, NFPA 70 and the Canadian Electrical Code, C22.1. They are also intendedfor use with Compressed Gas Association CGA P-1 by having a maximum limiting temperature of 125 F1.3 Covers are made in a variety of shapes and sizes for dir

11、ect application to a cylinder. A cover ofunusual size or odd shape is to be judged on its compliance with the requirements in this outline and onfurther examination and tests to determine its acceptability for the intended use and possible misuses.1.4 These requirements do not apply to units intende

12、d to be installed outdoors.2 Components2.1 Components shall comply with the requirements for that component.3 Units of Measurement3.1 Values stated without parentheses are the requirement. Values in parentheses are explanatory orapproximate information.DECEMBER 15, 2016UL 43004UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIA

19、al8.1 Refer to UL 499 section 52.MARKINGS9 General9.1 The markings shall be located so that they are visible after installation of the heating blanket.9.2 In addition to the marking required for general-purpose equipment, the equipment shall be markedwith the following minimum information:1) The man

20、ufacturers name, trade name, or other descriptive marking by which theorganization responsible for the product may be identified.2) Designation of the hazardous location in which the heater is intended to be used forexample, “Class _, Group _.” In addition, a product for Division 2 only shall bear t

21、hewording: “Division 2,” for example, “Class ., Division 2, Group .”3) A catalog or designation number to specifically identify the heater.4) Maximum operating temperature or temperature Class based on the maximum temperatureattained in the temperature tests, identified as “Operating Temperature _,”

22、 or “OperatingTemperature Code _,”5) For a heater marked for use in an elevated ambient, the operating temperature or operatingtemperature code shall be based on operation in the elevated ambient for which the heater ismarked. A heater having a maximum external operating temperature of not more than

23、 100C(212F) need not be so marked.6) Ambient temperature rating, when greater than 40C or less than -25C.DECEMBER 15, 2016UL 43006UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION ORDISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM ULTable 9.1Temperature markingMaximum operating temperature Operati
