Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "nonincendive" refers to equipment that is not capable of igniting a surrounding flammable atmosphere. This is a common method of equipment protection in hazardous locations where flammable gases or vapors may be present. Explosionproof and hermetic sealing are also commonly used techniques, but dusttight and damping are not specifically related to preventing ignition in hazardous environments. Polycoating and nonflammable paint may provide some physical protection for equipment, but they do not directly address the risk of ignition.
