The ISA Standards and Practices Department is aware of the growing need for attention to the metric system of units in general, and the International System of Units (SI) in particular, in the preparation of instrumentation standards. The Department is further aware of the benefits to USA u
7、sers of ISA standards of incorporating suitable references to the SI (and the metric system) in their business and professional dealings with other countries. Toward this end, this Department will endeavor to introduce SI-acceptable metric units in all new and revised standards, recommended practice

42、ired Ma/Ga/Da Ignition not likely with one fault and two independent faults or in the case of rare malfunctions Mb/Gb/Db Ignition not likely with one fault or in the case of expected malfunctions Gc/Dc Ignition not likely in normal operation An ignition hazard assessment, as given in Annex C, has to
43、 be carried out to identify the ignition mechanisms and ignition sources caused by the specific working principle of the equipment using optical radiation. The types of protection selected from section 5 to protect the specific equipment depend on this ignition hazard assessment considering the tabl
44、e of ignition probabilities given above for the different EPLs. NOTE In IEC TC 31, the introduction of “equipment protection levels (EPL) Ga, Gb, Gc“ was decided. If, however, the optical radiation is confined inside an enclosure providing a protection of minimum IP 6X, after the tests specified in
45、IEC 60079-0 for enclosures, the ingress of absorbing targets from the outside of the enclosure need not to be taken into consideration. 5 Types of protection 5.1 General Three types of protection can be applied to prevent ignitions by optical radiation in potentially explosive atmospheres. These typ
46、es of protection encompass the entire optical system. These types of protection are a) inherently safe optical radiation, type of protection “op is”; b) protected optical radiation, type of protection “op pr”; and c) optical system with interlock, type of protection “op sh”.

Ignition by an optically irradiated target absorber requires the least amount of energy, power, or irradiance of the identified ignition mechanisms i

NOTE Research to date 17-22 has concluded the following values of visible and infrared beam strength are safe for explosive gas atmospheres. The safe values incorporate a modest safety factor on observed ignition values obtained under severe test conditions. Ignition of a carbon disulfide-air mixture has been reported recently using 24 m
