HYDROCARBON ANALYZER - IS IT HAZARDOUS AREA DEVICE ?
(OP)
Hydrocarbon Analyzer is it a hazardous area device ? The analyzer is provided to be installed in special room for the monitoring of hydrocarbon contamination. That room is potential hazardous area, and Owner wants to discuss about that.
I used to read many prospects / catalogues about hydrocarbon analyzer and manufacturer always stops the process if something wrong, but never provides information about their product as hazardous area device.
Thank you for any info / article about that.

Thank you for coments, but I repeat, Hydrocarbon Analyzer is provided to be installed in special room for the monitoring of hydrocarbon contamination.
We have to make order for that Hydrocarbon Analyzer, but we have a couple questions :
(1) Hydrocarbon Analyzers, available on the market,are provided for permanent operation or not ?
Owner prefers permanent testing operation. What do you know about that ? What is your suggestion about maintenance, how to minimize maintenance ? ( cleaning of the pipes etc.)
Are you suggesting Time-Relay for the control of testing operation from time to time, or maybe you have a better solution. We are trying to minimize maintenance.
Are you suggesting ventilation ? ( fans)
(2) Area provided for installation of the Hydrocarbon Analyzer is non-hazard area but as soon as analyzer
is installed there that area becomes hazardous area because of flammable gas inside a pipes ( hydrocarbons).
Did you provide Hydrocarbon Analyzer as equipment for Hazardous Classification Area. ?
Sincerely,
Bobziva
