Laboratory Containers for Zone 1 & 2 Hazardous Areas: Safety and Compliance with TLS

​In industries that deal with hazardous substances, safety and compliance are paramount. When working in Zone 1 & 2 areas, where the risk of explosive atmospheres is present, the choice of equipment becomes critical. This is where specialized laboratory containers, like those manufactured by TLS, offer a vital solution.
 
Understanding Zone 1 & 2 Hazardous Areas
Zone 1 & 2 areas are classified based on the frequency and duration of the presence of flammable gases, vapors, or dust.

• Zone 1: A place where explosive atmospheres are likely to occur during normal operation.
• Zone 2: A place where explosive atmospheres are not likely to occur in normal operation but, if it does occur, will persist for a short period only.

 
Why Specialized Laboratory Containers are Essential
In these hazardous environments, standard laboratory containers are not suitable. The risk of ignition from electrical components or sparks is too high. Specialized containers address these risks by incorporating:

1. Explosion-Proof Design: Enclosures and electrical components are designed to withstand internal explosions and prevent the spread of flames.
2. Ventilation: Systems to manage the concentration of hazardous substances and prevent the build-up of explosive mixtures.
3. Material Selection: Non-sparking materials are used to reduce the risk of ignition.
4. Temperature Control: Maintaining safe operating temperatures for equipment and stored chemicals.
