Hazardous dust atmosphere
For dusts, the procedure specified in ISO/IEC 80079-20-2 for determining the
ignition temperature has to be applied. The ignition temperature is determined
separately for dust clouds and dust layers, respectively. For dust layers, the
ignition temperature depends on the dust layer thickness per IEC/EN 60079-14.

The permissible maximum medium temperature must not exceed the lowest
determined value, even in case of a malfunction.

2.4 Special hazards

WARNING!
For hazardous media such as oxygen, acetylene, flammable or
toxic gases or liquids, and refrigeration plants, compressors, etc., in
addition to all standard regulations, the appropriate existing codes or
regulations must also be followed.
For additional important safety instructions see chapter 2.3 "Safety instructions
for pressure gauges per ATEX".
WARNING!
Residual media in dismounted pressure gauges can result in a risk to
persons, the environment and equipment.
Take sufficient precautionary measures.
