An explosive atmosphere<\/b> is a mixture with air, under atmospheric conditions, of flammable substances in the form of gases, vapours, mist or dust in which, after ignition, combustion spreads to the entire unburned mixture.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
Many substances can form an explosive atmosphere<\/b>. Examples include gases (natural gas, butane, propane, acetylene, etc.), liquids (fuels, solvents, oils, paints, etc.) and solids (wood, coal, cereal grains, metal dust). Therefore, many facilities and activities must be assessed in accordance with applicable regulations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>![\"airfal-8\"](\"https:\/\/www.airfal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/airfal-8.jpg\" "\\"airfal-8\\"")

There are two types of ATEX atmospheres<\/b>: explosive gas atmospheres and explosive dust atmospheres.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
When classifying zones, the relevant international standards and the parameters of the substances capable of creating these atmospheres must be taken into account. This makes it possible to classify the location based on the characteristics of the substances present in the facility.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
