3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this part, the terms and definitions given in GB/T 2900.23-1995和GB 5959.1-2005 and the following apply.
3.1
explosion
sharp rise in pressure caused by chemical changes where combustible gas burns instantaneously in the whole area in a sealed space
3.2
explosive atmosphere
atmosphere formed by combustible substances mixed with air in the form of gas or vapor, which will spread rapidly after ignition and cause potential explosion under atmospheric conditions
3.3
ignition temperature
minimum temperature at which an explosive atmosphere is ignited under specified conditions
3.4
explosion limit
range in which a mixture of combustible gas/vapor and air can explode. Where the air contains a certain concentration of combustible gas or vapor, explosion may occur if the gas or vapor makes contact with sparks and then fire spreads. The lowest concentration is called the lower explosion limit while the highest concentration is called the upper explosion limit. No explosion will occur if the concentration of combustible gas or vapor exceeds or lowers this range.
3.5
quantity of solvent
amount of solvent brought into the furnace by a workpiece
4 Classification of electroheat installations by voltage section
The classification shall meet the requirements in Clause 4 of GB/T 5959.1-2005 and relevant special safety requirements.
