FlamCal is a specialized, free hazardous area calculation software developed by ExVeritas, an international safety compliance and certification body.
The application is built specifically for engineers, safety officers, and system designers who need a fast, accurate, and beautifully simple way to compute the physical properties of flammable gases and vapors. These calculations are vital for ATEX / DSEAR compliance, area classification, and safe electrical equipment selection in explosive atmospheres. Core Functions & Capabilities
FlamCal streamlines complex thermodynamic and chemical safety equations into immediate, actionable data:
ATEX Equipment Selection: Determines exact gas groups (e.g., IIA, IIB, IIC) and temperature classifications (T1 to T6) required for safe equipment deployment.
Area Classification Data: Computes critical safety parameters like vapor density, FlashPoint, and lower/upper explosive limits (LEL/UEL).
Physical Property Estimation: Evaluates how gases and vapors will behave under specific atmospheric conditions to map out potential explosion risk zones. Key Design Philosophy
Fast & Instantaneous: Instead of manually cross-referencing massive chemical safety lookup tables and standard documents, users input the substance parameters to get instant regulatory classifications.
Accurate Compliance: The software utilizes validated data tailored to strict international safety standards, removing the risk of human calculation errors in hazardous zone planning.
Beautifully Simple: True to its tagline, FlamCal replaces bulky spreadsheets or command-line tools with a lightweight, distraction-free desktop interface. It features a minimal footprint (under 1.2 MB) designed to execute one job perfectly without bloated menus. Technical Specifications Developer: ExVeritas License: Free (Freeware) File Size: ~1.17 MB Platform: Windows
Are you looking to use FlamCal for a specific project (like factory area classification or equipment rating), or are you comparing it to other ATEX calculation tools? I can provide more details on either.
