Charges generated by filling, pumping, agitating and similar processes in
feed vessels can result in ignition-capable discharges if conductive objects
(sampling cups, measuring rods) are brought into close proximity.
Protective measures:
Use appropriate sampling vessels.
Example: Sampling using scoop device Before sampling, switch
off agitator and wait for specified time until tool is completely stationary!
Do not use conductive sampling vessels. Non-conductive sampling vessel of
volume > 1 l is inadmissible!
Example: Sampling via sampling line Use only conductive hoses or lines and
valves for small mass flows or with an adjustment device to set small mass
flows. Earth conductive sampling vessels, non-conductive sampling vessels only
admissible up to 1 l in volume.
