Design of lifting gear for a plastination laboratory.
Conventional lifting gear based on steel components can be safely used in a laboratory where acetone is used provided that: (a) the circumstances under which significant amounts of acetone vapour will be present are known and can be controlled and (b) operating practices are imposed to prevent the use of the lifting gear at times when acetone vapour may be present in explosive concentrations.
