Explosivity parameters of combustible dust

Analysis package to determine the ignitability and explosivity parameters of combustible dust samples after combustibility has been confirmed with the go/no-go screening test.

The following are examples of tests that can be included in the package:

  • MIT – Minimum ignition temperature of dust layers and dust clouds (ISO/IEC 80079-20-2)

  • MIE – Minimum ignition energy (EN 13821)

  • LOC – Limiting oxygen concentration (EN 14034-4+A1)

  • Resistivity (ISO/IEC 80079-20-2)

  • LEL – Lower explosive limit (EN 14034-3+A1)

  • Maximum explosion pressure (pmax), pressure increase speed ((dp/dt)max), and explosion constant (KSt) according to EN 14034-1+A1 and EN 14034-2+A1

  • Classification of the explosive group
