25、9EN 746-3:1997+A1:2009 (E) 5 Introduction This standard has been prepared to be a harmonised standard to provide one means of conforming to the Essential requirements of the Machinery Directive and associated EFTA Regulations. The extent to which hazards are covered is indicated in the scope of this

26、 standard. In addition, machinery shall comply as appropriate with !EN ISO 12100-1 and EN ISO 12100-2“ for hazards which are not covered by this standard. This European Standard is a type-C standard as defined in !EN ISO 12100-1 and EN ISO 12100-2“. !EN 746-1 contains the common safety provisions fo

27、r all types of industrial thermoprocessing equipment. This part of the standard details in addition those extra safety requirements for the equipment listed in the scope, which need special attention.“ The equipment dealt with and the extent to which hazards are covered are indicated in the scope of

28、 this part of EN 746. Where for clarity an example of a preventative measure is given in the text, this should not be considered as the only possible solution. Any other solution leading to the same risk reduction is permissible if an equivalent level of safety is achieved. This part of EN 746 assum

29、es that the installations are operated and maintained by trained personnel. 1 Scope This part of EN 746 specifies safety requirements for atmosphere gas systems and their use in industrial thermo-processing equipment and associated plant, including systems for the production of atmosphere gases by r

30、eaction inside the thermo-processing equipment. It applies to the supply of atmosphere gases, gaseous and liquid additions to, and their removal from industrial thermo-processing equipment and associated plant, confined to equipment integrated in the thermo-processing and associated plant. This part

31、 of EN 746 also details the anticipated significant hazards associated with atmosphere gas systems and their use in industrial thermo-processing equipment and specifies the appropriate preventative measures for the reduction or elimination of these hazards. This part of EN 746 does not apply to atmo

32、sphere process gases, essential safety equipment, start-up, operation and shut-down of thermo-processing plant for semi-conductor devices for which special additional engineering requirements are necessary. This part of EN 746 specifies the requirements to be met to ensure the safety of persons and

33、property during commissioning, start up, operation, shut down and maintenance, as well as in the event of foreseeable faults or malfunctions which can occur in the equipment. It specifies the safety requirements at stages in the life of the equipment, and its design, ordering, construction and use.

34、This part of EN 746 applies to equipment which is placed on the market after the date of issue of this standard. The hazards covered by this Part of EN 746 are listed in clause 4. A table of typical atmosphere gases is given in Annex A. BS EN 746-3:1997+A1:2009EN 746-3:1997+A1:2009 (E) 6 2 Normative

43、 associated equipment Any equipment through or into which the atmosphere gases flow NOTE This includes atmosphere gas distribution systems, safety control equipment and the furnace or other enclosures in which atmosphere gases are used. 3.2 safe ignition temperature the minimum temperature at which

44、spontaneous, safe auto-ignition of flammable gases occurs NOTE The safe ignition temperature has been established at 750 C. 3.3 purging the general displacement of one type of atmosphere within a thermal processing plant by another 3.4 flammable atmosphere gas any gas mixture that is capable of form

45、ing flammable mixtures with air or oxygen under the conditions of temperature and pressure used in the process NOTE 1 Typically any gas mixture containing more than 5% (V/V) combustibles (H2+CO+CH4) of which CH4is not more than 1% (V/V), where the remainder of the mixture is non-flammable, is consid

46、ered to be flammable. Any gas mixture which contains more than 1% (V/V) CnHmor 2,5% (V/V) or 2,5% (V/V) NH3where the remainder of the mixture is non-flammable is also considered to be flammable (see Annexes A and B). NOTE 2 A flammable gas which contains 1 % (V/V) or less oxygen cannot in itself for

47、m an explosive or flammable mixture. 3.5 non-flammable atmosphere gas any gas mixture which is not capable of forming flammable mixtures with air or oxygen under the conditions of temperature and pressure used in the process NOTE Typically any gas mixture containing 5% (V/V) or less of combustibles

48、(H2+CO+CH4) of which CH4is not more than 1% of the 5% (V/V) and the remainder is non-flammable and which will not support combustion. 3.6 inert gas a non-flammable gas which will not support combustion and does not react to produce a flammable gas NOTE 1 An inert gas can safely be used for pre- and

49、post-purging of cold and hot enclosures of thermo-processing equipment. NOTE 2 Inert gas can be produced by appropriate adjustment of an exothermic generator. In the event of malfunction such as gas can be flammable and provisions should be taken to ensure that adjustment is correct. 3.7 toxic atmosphere gas
