Perhaps you could be so kind as to tell me exactly what you edited in my post and exactly why you felt the need to edit my post.
Sure. I'm sorry it wasn't clear. I didn't change your content. But what was originally there was:
"
The tanks are relatively big. They can store more 100k barrels flammable liquid. The mixers are 60 hp.
So you are looking at a 120D x 40H tank. 60hp mixer, with the shaft extending 35' into the tank with maybe a 5' propeller on the end. Maybe mounted on a 6' dia coverplate. I suspect a crane is needed to pull the mixer?
Do you have to go in the tank to to remove the propeller/shaft structural to pull the mixer? Do they have to clean the tank to remove the mixer? Sounds like they might have to.
[quote-rbalex]There may still be other nonrelated instrumentation (or equipment) in the envelope. Though as I mentioned earlier, it probably won't make much difference to the overall installation. Many Division 2 instruments are still rated for Division 1. A boundary seal or 2 may be involved.
Consider this: Even if there is NO electrical equipment within the classified location around either the vent or hatch, they still have Division 1 envelopes and it would make no difference to the installation at all. I can also identify some locations, such as around relief vents, that may never actually "blow" but they still have Division 1 envelopes.[/quote]
For the mixer I'm seeing a a TEFC motor, likely an accelerometer for vibration pickup, I'm not seeing anything around the mixer that calls for CID1. Other stuff in the area could well change the classification - Who knows? That would be part of the rest of the story. As for vents, hatches, gage and thief holes, and pressure/vacuum reliefs, if they are not in the area of the mixer - so what.
I'm still not seeing your reasoning.
If you want it classified - then declare it classified. Nothing wrong with that.

Where you quoted me wasn't clear. I didn't change either your content or my own, just how mine was formatted.
