Determines the smallest quantity of energy, as a capacitive or inductive spark discharge, required to ignite a powder dust cloud. Resulting data can be used to assess risks in processing and handling industrial powders. This test determines the minimum ignition energy of a dust cloud in air. The MINIMUM IGNITION ENERGY (MIE) of a dust –cloud is primarily used assess the likelihood of ignition during processing and handling and to evaluate the need for precautions such as explosion prevention systems. The minimum ignition energy ... more
