O “abc” represents gas classifications, categorized into three levels—IIA, IIB, and IIC—according to the maximum experimental safe gap (MESG) or the minimum igniting current (MIC).
Categoría de condición | Clasificación de gases | Gases representativos | Enerxía de chispa de ignición mínima |
---|---|---|---|
Baixo A Mina | eu | Metano | 0.280mJ |
Fábricas Fóra Da Mina | IIA | Propano | 0.180mJ |
IIB | Etileno | 0.060mJ | |
IIC | Hidróxeno | 0.019mJ |
Of these, the IIC classification is deemed the most hazardous, with IIB and IIA following in decreasing order of risk. Gases falling under the IIC classification include hydrogen, acetileno, carbon disulfide, ethyl nitrate, and water gas. Those in the IIB category encompass ethylene, coke oven gas, propyne, e hidróxeno sulfuro. The IIA classification includes gases such as methane, ethane, benceno, e diesel.
