Dear friends, I have a question:
We work on a project which has some boilers to provide steam
for desalination unit.
The boiler area is safe and the only hazard source is the
fuel lines of boilers.
I want to know according to NFPA standard which type of
instrument should be selected on the fuel line: Eex Type or
Non-Eex type?

Thanks in advance

Answer Posted / swapnil s. dhamanse

First,you should read about NFPA 31 standard.My suggestion
is that you shoud used Eex type instrument on fuel
line,because most of fuel of boiler are flamable,so you
must used flame proof/explosion proof instrument.but,my
question is that why people think too to take decision
about about safety? boiler is highly hazardous area.I know
that outside the fuel line there is less posibilities of
flamable & explosive source but as per NFPA standard you
must use Eex type instruments.
