Description of Combustible Dust Testing Parameters
Go/No Go Explosion Screening will indicate if the material you or your client is processing is an explosion hazard.
Maximum Pressure (PMax) and Maximum Rate of Pressure Rise (KSt) are typically used in the design of explosion protection systems such as venting and suppression.
Explosion prevention parameters such as Minimum Ignition Energy (MIE), Minimum Explosible Concentration (MEC), Minimum Ignition Temperature (MIT) and Limiting Oxygen Concentration (LOC) are used to design safety concepts to prevent explosions from occuring.
Lastly, flammability parameters such as Burn Rate, Layer Ignition Temperature (LIT), Auto Ignition Screening (Grewer) and others characterize the combustion and burning behavior of the material.
