How to Test Combustible Dust
A variety of methods are required to assess the potential for dust ignition and explosion in milling operations
- Identify potential detonating/ deflagrating materials
- Identify those materials which are easily ignited as a dust cloud or layer
- Identify those materials which self-heat at low temperatures
- Identify those materials which may generate flammable (or inert) gas when they decompose
- Establish the consequence of the explosion
- Establish suitable prevention and protection measures
