Explosion-proof rating:
Explosion-proof equipment with a CT4 rating is classified as Exd IIC T4. BT4 explosion-proof equipment is rated as Exd IIB T4, which is a lower explosion-proof rating than CT4 equipment.
| Domaine d'utilisation | Classification des gaz | Gaz de référence | Énergie minimale de l'étincelle d'allumage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sous la mine | I | Le méthane | 0,280 mJ |
| Usines situées en dehors de la mine | IIA | Propane | 0,180 mJ |
| IIB | Éthylène | 0,060 mJ | |
| IIC | Hydrogène | 0,019 mJ |
Applicability:
CT has the widest range of applicability.
Gas environment:
CT is an explosion-proof rating for acetylene and hydrogen levels. If there are gases like acetylene or hydrogen in the environment, CT-rated explosion-proof equipment is required. BT-rated equipment is not suitable for acetylene environments and is only considered a moderate explosion-proof level.
