Category / Zones
Below is a table of the different categories and zones for explosion hazardous environment compliance. Hafner products covers environments in Zone 1, 2, 21 and 22.
| ZONES FOR GASES | ZONES FOR DUST | |
|---|---|---|
| CATEGORY 1 | Zone 0 Area in which an explosion hazardous atmosphere consisting of air and inflammable gases, vapors or fog is present constantly or over a longer period of time. > 1000 hours/year | Zone 20 Area in which an explosion hazardous atmosphere consisting of a dust-cloud or a mix of air and dust is present constantly or over a longer period of time. > 1000 hours/year |
| CATEGORY 2 | Zone 1 Area in which there is a probability that under normal conditions an explosion hazardous atmosphere consisting of air and inflammable gases, vapors or fog can be present. 10 -1000 hours/year | Zone 21 Area in which there is a probability that under normal conditions an explosion hazardous atmosphere consisting of a dust-cloud or a mix of air and dust can be present. 10 - 1000 hours/year |
| CATEGRORY 3 | Zone 2 Area in which once and a while an explosion hazardous atmosphere consisting of air and inflammable gases, steam or vapors can be present. <10 hours/year | Zone 22 Area in which once and a while an explosion hazardous atmosphere consisting of a dust-cloud or a mix of air and dust can be present. <10 hours/year |
