Area Classification for Oil Mists (MISTS2): Summary Report (UK’s HSE)

Many types of industrial equipment can potentially produce an explosive oil mist if a fault develops. This includes almost all equipment in which oil is under pressure, such as hydraulic systems, pressurized lubrication systems, and oil-based heat transfer systems, among others. These are widely used and found in many industries, including service plant rooms and production facilities.
