Did you know the LEL of a vapor and the MEC for a combustible dust can be lower when mixed together?
A lot of folks know about flammable liquids and their vapors. A smaller group of folks know about combustible dusts. Yet there is a even a smaller group that knows that when a flammable vapor/gas and a combustible dusts are mixed together, both the vapor and the dust will have a LOWER LEL than if they were in an atmosphere by themselves.

My line of work brings me into contact with a lot of hazardous locations. Some weeks I feel I should just sleep in my FR coveralls! But each month we find errors in hazardous location classifications that could have disastrous results. This article is an attempt to bring to light some of the common errors we have come across:
