Electrical safety in flammable gas/vapor laden atmospheres

This book provides coverage of electrical system installation within areas where flammable gases and liquids are handled and processed. The hazard evaluation of flammability risks associated with chemical and petrochemical locations is important in determining the point at which the costs of electri...
