For an Instrumentation Engineer, is there any effect on
Instruments of safety zones like zone0, zone1, zone2.
As an instrumentation Engineer, what we have to consider or
remember while working in these areas.( zones 0,1,2).

Answer Posted / mpf

You probably mean on explosion hazard zones. Most of
instrumentation equipment falls in the category of intrinsic
safety ("i") and therefore can be placed in all zones (with
some limitations to zone 0) being zone 0 the most strict zone
where exploding substance is always present and zone 2 - the
least strict zone where the potentialy exploding substance
could be present in short periods of time in case of an
failure. Otherwise, if the equipment is not of "i" type of
protection, other rules apply.

HPMV (Mercury). HPMV having white light which is an combination of red, blue and yellow colour, while HPSV haivng Yellow lighting. in HPSV red & blue colour will be absent. during measurement of the lux level of HPSV and HPMV fixture. 1. Lux meter can measure the actual lux level of both fixture? 2. or it will show false reading for HPSV fixture light as it has only yellow light present. please give me answer
