Dust Explosion Testing and Analysis
Are you concerned about the risk of dust explosion in your equipment?
Dust explosions are a potentially high-risk industrial hazard that can result in equipment damage, production downtime, and even loss of life. To ensure the safe operation of industrial equipment, it is essential to conduct explosion testing and analysis of the dust present in your facilities.
We offer comprehensive equipment dust explosion testing and analysis services, adhering to multiple international standards. Our tests cover the physical and chemical properties of dust, providing you with reliable explosion risk assessments to support the design and safe operation of industrial equipment.
Scope of Testing Services
- Explosion Screening Test: Quickly determines whether the dust poses an explosion hazard.
- Minimum Ignition Temperature for Dust Layers/Clouds (MITL/LIT/MITc/MIT): Measures the lowest ignition temperature of dust layers/clouds under specific conditions, aiding in the design of surface temperature limits and ventilation systems.
- Lower Explosion Limit (LEL): Identifies the minimum concentration of dust-air mixtures required for an explosion, helping define safe operating concentration ranges.
- Minimum Ignition Energy (MIE): Measures the minimum electrical energy needed to ignite dust mixtures, providing guidance on preventing ignition from static electricity or other sources.
- Maximum Explosion Pressure (Pmax), Maximum Rate of Pressure Rise ((dp/dt)max), and Explosion Index (KSt): Analyzes pressure parameters within a confined space during an explosion, aiding in the design of explosion-proof equipment and structures.
- Explosion Index (KSt): Classifies combustible dust into St1, St2, or St3 categories, indicating the severity of the explosion threat.
- Limiting Oxygen Concentration (LOC): Determines the maximum allowable oxygen concentration for dust explosions under inert conditions, essential for designing inerting systems.
- Dust Layer Burning Behavior Assessment: Evaluates the combustion behavior of dust layers and assigns a burning class (BZ 1 to BZ 6) to assess fire propagation risks.
- Resistivity Measurement: Determines dust conductivity, classifying it as IIIB (non-conductive) or IIIC (conductive) to mitigate risks of short circuits or static discharge hazards.
- Self-Ignition Behavior and Critical Bulk Height Measurement: Assesses the self-ignition properties of materials and safe storage conditions, supporting the design of secure storage solutions.
