In the U.S. under the current standards is it allowable to use a friction brake for tension control in a hazardous area with a Group D gas with an auto-ignition temperature of 465 degrees C (acetone)? The web horsepower, which will define the brake dissipation horsepower, is only 0.03 HP. I will be using a brake that is rated many times that in rated power dissipation. Its a slow speed line. I haven't seen anything that specifically says I can't. I just want to make sure.
