The differences between explosion-proof levels CT4 and BT4 are as follows: 1. Different levels: The explosion-proof level of CT4 explosion-proof motors is ExdIICT4, while that of BT4 explosion-proof motors is ExdIIBT4, with a lower protection level than CT4 explosion-proof motors. 2. Different applicable gas environments: BT4 is suitable for some conventional gases, such as methane, ethane, petroleum, hydrogen sulfide, and other common gases. CT4 can cover more uncommon and highly explosive gases, such as hydrogen at CT1 level, water gas, acetylene at CT2 level, and carbon disulfide at CT4 level. 3. Different explosion-proof levels: The explosion-proof level of CT4 explosion-proof motors is higher than that of BT4 explosion-proof motors. 4. Different applicable zones: BT4 is suitable for gas hazardous area Zone 2, with a maximum surface temperature not exceeding 135°C. CT4 is suitable for gas hazardous areas Zone 1 and Zone 2, with a maximum surface temperature not exceeding 135°C.

When discussing explosion-proof ratings CT4 and BT4, as someone who frequently deals with industrial equipment, I believe the core difference lies in gas adaptability. BT4 refers to Group IIB gas scenarios, such as ethylene or propane environments, with a temperature class T4 (up to 135°C). CT4, on the other hand, is Group IIC level, designed for more sensitive and explosive gases like hydrogen or acetylene, also with temperature class T4. Simply put, Group IIC gases are more easily ignited than Group IIB, requiring higher equipment protection standards. If misused, equipment in flammable environments may overheat and cause explosions. For example, using BT4 equipment in IIC zones in chemical plants significantly increases accident risks, so selection must comply with the GB 3836 standard to test gas types. I recommend confirming environmental data with manufacturers before procurement to avoid safety hazards. Safety first—equipment maintenance should also include regular inspections.

How long after drinking half a bottle of beer can you drive?

It is best not to drive within 8 hours after drinking half a bottle of beer. To be on the safe side, you can wait more than 10 hours before driving. Here is some relevant information about drunk driving: 1. Explanation: In 2011, China officially incorporated drunk driving into criminal law. There are many traffic police officers checking for drunk driving on the road. As long as it is found that the alcohol content in the driver's blood exceeds the standard, all 12 points on the driver's license will be deducted, and the driver will also face severe penalties. In serious cases, administrative detention and even criminal sentences may be imposed. China's efforts to crack down on drunk driving have been increasing in order to fundamentally eliminate this phenomenon. Nowadays, the number of drunk drivers in China has decreased significantly compared to before. 2. Precautions: If the alcohol content in the blood exceeds 80 milligrams per milliliter, it indicates that the driver has committed a serious drunk driving offense, which will not only result in the revocation of the driver's license but also prohibit the driver from obtaining a new license for 5 years. Generally speaking, the alcohol content in the blood after drinking a bottle of Tsingtao beer will slowly dissipate within a few hours. Each person's alcohol tolerance is different, and the time it takes to metabolize alcohol varies. Some drivers have better alcohol tolerance and can drive 7 hours after drinking a bottle of beer.

How to Confirm If the Primer Paint is Damaged?

To confirm if the primer paint is damaged, you can use your fingernail to scrape over the scratch and feel for any indentation. If the scratch can catch the sliding of your fingernail, it indicates that the scratch is relatively deep and may have reached the primer paint. If you only feel a slightly rough indentation that isn't particularly deep, you can use a polishing wheel along with a polishing enhancer to remove the oxidized layer attached to the car's surface and smooth out the fine scratches. At the same time, the polishing agent penetrates the paint, causing a restorative change that refreshes the paint surface. Tips for repairing minor scratches: First, check the extent of the scratch. If it's just a very shallow surface scratch, immediately treat it with a compound. Wipe in a straight line, and once the scratch disappears, use a finer compound to wipe again, then apply wax.
