2.4.4. Temperature classes
The maximum surface temperature is the highest temperature that
the surface of a pump reaches under the least favorable condi-
tions.
The maximum surface temperature of the pump must always be
lower than the lowest ignition temperature of the gas or vapor/air
mixture in which it is used.
The maximum surface temperature is based on the design of the
pump and is specified as temperature class.
