Dust explosibility screening (go/no go test)

Initial explosibility screening, also known as a "go/no go test", to determine whether a fine powder is capable of generating an explosive dust atmosphere.

The following determinations are included:

• Sample preparation and treatment

• Grain size analysis with the sieve method

• Basic chemical analysis (moisture, volatile matter, ash, fixed carbon)

• Explosion screening tests according to ISO/IEC 80079-20-2, comprising Hartman tube ignition tests and, if required, a 20-liter sphere ignition test.

As a result, you will get an ISO 17025-accredited test report stating whether or not the sample is classified as combustible dust.

We also offer additional tests to determine combustible dust's explosion and ignition parameters. Please ask our experts for more information.
