1. A hazardous area classification system comprising:
- one or more processors; and
a non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform the steps of;
inputting a plurality of predetermined parameters associated with a location;
analyzing the plurality of predetermined parameters as indicative of a potential hazard in the location;
determining a position of a hazardous area for the location using a calculation based on the analysis of the plurality of predetermined parameters; and
generating a representation of the hazardous area.

Abstract
A computer processor driven system and method capable of identifying and constructing representations of hazardous areas. The hazardous area classification system has one or more processors, and a computer readable medium containing instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform the steps of determining a position of a hazardous area for a predetermined location using a calculation based on a plurality of parameters, and generating a representation of the hazardous area.

14. A method for hazardous area classification, comprising the steps of:
-
inputting a plurality of predetermined parameters related to a material in a location into one or more processors; analyzing the plurality of predetermined parameters as indicative of a potential hazard in the location; using the one or more processors to determine the position of a hazardous area in the location using a calculation based on the analysis of the plurality of predetermined parameters; and using the one or more processors to generate a representation of the hazardous area. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A method for hazardous area classification, comprising the steps of:
-
A) selecting a location for analysis; B) identifying a material for analysis; C) identifying a container for containing the material; D) using one or more processors to calculate a stream data for the material based on the quantity, temperature, pressure and rate of flow of the material in the container; E) identifying a release point in which the material is releasable from the container; F) identifying a parameter of a building in which the material and container are housed; G) selecting a region of the location for analysis; H) identifying potential ignition sources within the region; I) using the one or more processors to determine the position of a hazardous area in the region using a calculation based on the analysis of the information obtained in steps B) through H); and J) using the one or more processors to generate a representation of the hazardous area in the region. - View Dependent Claims (24)
