Tom Lenerz Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Your architect or engineer and local authority should be telling you what is expected. However generally speaking Alcohol vapor would be Class I for explosive vapors, group D for ethanol, and depending on how your equipment is setup and your authority, it would be either Division 1 for always present or Division 2 present sometimes or in the event of a failure. For grain or milling, you would be looking at Class II for explosive dusts, group G for Flour. Same 1 for always present or 2 for in the event of a failure. See this document for explanation: http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/wp/800-wp003_-en-p.pdf Also try to get your hands on the DISCUS fire safety document.
