Description: Specialized knowledge is necessary in the field of instrumentation. It involves designing, maintaining, and operating instruments and control systems in hazardous areas. This knowledge ensures safe system operation and helps prevent fires. Several methods achieve explosion protection. They include explosion-proofing, intrinsic safety, increased safety, and pressurization. Understanding these methods is crucial for instrumentation and control engineers and technicians. They design and maintain these systems.
Various standards and practices exist at national and international levels. You must follow them. You will use them while working with control systems and instruments. Workers will carry out the work in hazardous areas, this training course covers hazardous areas. It will help your employees understand the basics of preventing explosions. They will learn about standards for area, material, and temperature classification. They will also learn the reason for these standards. They will learn the different explosion protection techniques.

Hazardous Area Real Life Examples:
The examples in this course are from real projects. They are from installations in operating plants. They give the learner a step-by-step method to do the work. This design instance showcases one among many loop design examples.
Intrinsically Safe Loop Design Example:
We must use an open loop (Tag No. TI-101) to measure temperature. It will have a thermocouple and a temperature transmitter. We will use the principles of Intrinsic Safety. A DCS will connect to the safe area equipment. The thermocouple is mounted in a thermowell on a process reactor. This reactor sits in a dangerous area classified as Zone 1, Group II A, T4.

A frequently asked question is how does hazardous area coverage overlap within the NEC, NEMA, IEC, and ATEX? Tap the button below for the answer.
What is the difference between IEC and NEC hazardous areas?
Hazardous area coverage overlaps several ways within the NEC, NEMA, and IEC. Each system has its own classes and requirements. But, some common ground lets them harmonize.
The National Electrical Code (NEC) in the United States provides a framework. It classifies hazardous areas. It does this based on the likelihood of explosive atmospheres. It defines different "Classes" and "Divisions" to categorize these hazardous locations. NEMA also offers guidelines and standards for dangerous places. These guides focus on building and using electrical equipment. The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) publishes them.
In contrast, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has its own standards. They are for classifying hazardous areas. It uses a system based on "Zone" classifications. These zones define explosive atmospheres based on their frequency and duration.
Manufacturers, engineers, and safety professionals work with electrical equipment installed in hazardous areas. They need to know the similarities and differences between these standards. In practice, many companies and facilities follow a mix of these standards. They do this to cover everything. They also do it to follow regulations in their regions and industries. This course has your regulatory needs covered.
