unit field limit


Explanation:
possibly this refers to the boundaries for a unit within a industrial piping complex; such a complex would consist of so-called (piping) units designated for each stream of a specific chemical, and the field itself would be the entire complex.

isolation zone limit / boundary


Explanation:
NB your text seems to have been translated from German / written by German native speaker

The details of my interpretation depend on the exact situation, but this might be the case: I understand a 'blokveld' to be a certain zone that can be isolated from the rest of the system, so when there's a leak there the rest of the installation, including the supply of nitro, can remain in operation; however, when there's a leak outside this area in the supply line, the supply has to be cut off and the supply line isolated i.e. closed off at both ends (inblokken)
