Hazardous Area Classification for Hydraulic Pack System

Hazardous Area Classification for Hydraulic Pack System

Hazardous Area Classification for Hydraulic Pack System

(OP)
Hello All,
I have a LNG tank which is driven by hydraulic pack system. I know that the classification for tank would be rating of class 1 div 1 or class 1 div 2. Per NFPA 59A. depend on the components.
What my wondering is, what is the classification for hydraulic pack system?? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thank you

RE: Hazardous Area Classification for Hydraulic Pack System

Hi George2013,

Welcome to eng-tips!

Classifying an area or the area around a machine is not something I can help with over the internet. I'd need all the design drawings and the answers to all the questions I would have about those drawings.

If it's an existing plant, I'd need to lay eyes on it up close.

Either is too much for a tips forum, in my opinion.

Your best bet is going to be a local electrical engineer with hazardous location experience. Sorry!

Best to you,

Goober Dave
