Which temperature class is better t1 or T6?
A T Class rating of T1 means the maximum surface temperature generated by the instrument at 40° C is 450° C. A rating of T6 means the maximum surface temperature generated by the equipment is 85° C….T Rating Equipment.
| Gas Area Classified T Rating | Suitable Equipment |
|---|---|
| T6 | T6 |
What is difference between EXD and EExd?

What is the most severe gas group?
IIC
IIC is the most severe and volatile gases, meaning that these gases are the most easily ignited. Therefore, if your product is certified for IIC it also covers I, IIA and IIB.
Which temperature class is better T3 or T6?
It is understood that equipment should not be installed in an explosive atmosphere where the surface temperature is greater than 80% of the auto-ignition temperature of the gas….Temperature Classifications.
| CLASS | SURFACE TEMPERATURE °C |
|---|---|
| T3 | <200 |
| T4 | <135 |
| T5 | <100 |
| T6 | <85 |
What is T6 temperature rating?
A rating of T6 means the maximum surface temperature generated by the equipment is 85° C. Assuming the associated T Class and Temperature rating for the equipment are appropriate for the area, you can always use an instrument with a more stringent Division rating than required for the area.
Which temperature class is better T3 or T4?
