The “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).
Durum Kategorisi | Gaz Sınıflandırması | Temsili gazlar | Minimum Ateşleme Kıvılcım Enerjisi |
---|---|---|---|
Madenin Altında | BEN | Metan | 0.280mJ |
Maden Dışındaki Fabrikalar | IIA | Propan | 0.180mJ |
IIB | Etilen | 0.060mJ | |
IIC | Hidrojen | 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, asetilen, karbon disülfür, ethyl nitrate, and water gas. Those in the IIB category encompass ethylene, coke oven gas, propyne, Ve hidrojen sulfide. The IIA classification includes gases such as methane, etan, benzen, Ve diesel.
