Permissible gas temperature, depending on the temperature code of the sender/
receiver units
Case 1 (see → Table 2):
Under normal atmospheric conditions, an explosive atmosphere categorized as Zone 1 or
Zone 2 exists outside the pipeline. Process conditions in the pipeline can differ from the
atmospheric conditions. Process conditions can be in the range specified on the type plate
of the sender/receiver units. In this case the gas or gas mixture can be combustible but
must not be explosive.
Case 2 and 3 (see → Table 2):
On both sides of the pipeline an explosive atmosphere exists under normal atmospheric
conditions. The pipe wall separates different zones, i.e. Zone 1 exists inside the pipe and
Zone 2 outside. This means gas temperature and line pressure may not exceed the
specified ambient values.
NOTICE:
The pipe wall can separate different hazardous areas (zones).
