  • Group E

Atmospheres containing combustible metal dusts regardless of resistivity, or other combustible dusts of similar hazardous characteristics having resistivity of <105 ohm-cm (only division/zone 1, never 2; includes dusts of aluminum and magnesium and their commercial alloys)

  • Group F

Atmospheres containing carbon black, charcoal, coke or coke dusts which have more than 8% total entrapped volatile material* or atmospheres containing these dusts sensitized by other materials so that they present an explosion hazard, and having resistivity >100 ohm-cm but equal to or < 108 ohm-centimeter.

*Carbon black per ASTM D 1620 and charcoal coke and coke dust per ASTM D271.

  • Group G

Atmospheres containing combustible dusts with resistivity of 105 ohm-centimeter or greater and not included in Groups E or F such as flour, grain, wood, plastic, and chemicals.
