ATEX REQUIREMENTS

WARNING

!

If the provisions of EN 12186 & EN 12279,

national regulations, if any, and specic

manufacturer recommendations are not
put into practice before installation and
if purge by inert gas is not carried out
before equipment’s start-up and shut-down
operations, a potential external and internal
explosive atmosphere can be present in
equipment & gas pressure regulating/
measuring stations/installations.

If a presence of foreign material in the pipelines is foreseen
and purge by inert gas is not carried out, the following
procedure is recommended to avoid any possible external
ignition source inside the equipment due to mechanical

generated sparks:

• drainage to safe area via drain lines of foreign materials, if
any, by inow of fuel gas with low velocity in the pipe-work
(5m/sec)
