The explosionproof apparatus is a devices that is enclosed in a case capable of withstanding an explosion of a specified gas or vapor that may occur within it and of preventing the ignition of a specified gas or vapor surrounding the enclosure by sparks, flashes, or explosion of the gas or vapor within, and that operates at such an external temperature that a surrounding flammable atmosphere will not be ignited thereby This kind of exeplosionfproof devices should be installed suitable for the characteristics of the space or process condition that should be protected to prevent explosion or fire. But, due to the lack of information and techniques on the explosionproof technology, some dangerous area is not properly protected from an explosion or it cost too much to implement the explosionproof devices. In this report, the basic guidelines and several case studies of explosionproof devices installation will be introduced to be of help to field safety engineer.
