Combustible Dust Testing
Dust Combustibility (Group A/B)
The test is conducted to assess whether a dust/powder will form a flammable atmosphere, supporting flame propagation, when dispersed as a dust cloud in air.
Minimum Ignition Energy (MIE)
The minimum ignition energy (MIE) test is conducted to determine the lowest spark energy that will ignite a powder when dispersed in air, as a dust cloud.
Minimum Ignition Temperature (MIT)
The Minimum Ignition Temperature (MIT) test is conducted to determine the lowest temperature at which a hot surface will ignite a powder when dispersed in air, as a dust cloud.
Layer Ignition Temperature (LIT)
The Layer Ignition Temperature (LIT) test is conducted to determine the lowest temperature at which a hot surface will ignite a powder when settled as a dust layer.
Explosion Severity (Pmax, Kst)
The explosion severity test is conducted to determine maximum pressure (Pmax), Maximum rate of pressure rise ((dP/dt)max) and Kst of an ignited powder, dispersed in air, as a dust cloud.
Minimum Explosive Concentration (MEC)
The minimum explosive concentration test is conducted to determine the minimum quantity of powder dispersed in air, as a dust cloud that will ignite.
Limited Oxygen Concentration (LOC)
The limiting oxygen concentration test is conducted to determine the minimum quantity of oxygen, within an atmosphere, that will enable a powder dispersed in air, as a dust cloud to ignite.
Burning Behaviour
The test is conducted to assess the behaviour (severity) of combustion propagation through a material deposit on being ignited by an external ignition source.
