Dust explosion testing - Safevent
DUST EXPLOSION TESTING
Knowing every detail of your generated dust's explosive characteristics is a key factor in deciding which explosion protection equipment that will best safekeep your machinery, employees and plants.
Lots of data regarding the explosive properties of different materials are already freely available. However, this data is only indicative, as there is a huge difference between dust originating from the same type of material because of its size and how the the grains are put together.
Relying solely on the freely available data could cause you to either pay too much for a explosion protection solution or - in an even worse scenario – end up with inadequate equipment.
For these reasons we are offering tests that determine whether your dust is explosive and – if the dust is explosive – how the explosion will behave.
The most important values to test and determine are:
Kst - the speed of the explosion’s development
Pmax - the maximum amount of pressure that the material is able to produce.

THE PROCESS
SEND SAMPLE
You send a sample of the materiale you want tested
ANALYSIS
We are having the sample analysed
TEST RESULTS
You receive the test results
You may expect this process to take between 2-5 weeks depending on which tests you want carried out.
Typical sample size: 1-3 kg
