Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: SOP is based on ISO 6184 Part 1 (1985) Explosion Protection Systems, Part 1 : Method for determination of explosion indices of combustible dusts in air.
Principles of method if other than guideline:
20 Litre Sphere -(Explosion Severity): Explosion severity is a measure of the maximum pressure (Pmax) and the rate of pressure increase (dP/dtmax) generated by an exploding dust cloud determined in what is known as the '20 litre sphere' apparatus
GLP compliance:
yes

DUST EXPLOSIVITY

Group:A

Maximum Explosion Pressure:8.5 bar

Maximum Rate of Pressure Rise:938 barfs Kst:255 bar mis

St Class:2

Limiting Oxygen Concentration:7%vlv

TRAIN FIRE (10cm burn):Non-combustible. (Supports localised combustion).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
non explosive
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Dust cloud ignition produces a strong dust explosion (St 2; Kst = 255 bar mis).

Dust cloud explosions will produce high maximum pressure (Pmax = 8.5 bar).

This material is classified as a non-combustible solid and will not support propagating
combustion. It can support combustion in the vicinity of a very hot ignition source.
