Their group ratings designate use in locations with specific types of gas, vapor, or dust. Also called explosion-proof fixtures, they contain explosions that may trigger within the fixture and prevent arcs or sparks within the fixture from igniting gases, vapors, dusts, fibers, or flyings on or near the fixture.Flammable gases and vapors are Class I hazards commonly found in petroleum refineries, fuel dispensaries, sewage treatment plants, and processes using chemicals, paints, coatings, or sealants. Combustible dusts are Class II hazards commonly found in pharmaceutical factories, coal-handling plants, grain elevators, and plants processing flour, feed, or powder. Ignitable fibers and flyings are Class III hazards commonly found in textile mills, lumber mills, and other plants with airborne fibers or sawdust.
