Dust Accumulation Stability – EN 15188
● Isoperibolic Oven testing
● Frank-Kamenetskii/Leuschke scaling
● Wire mesh cages – Bowes Cameron
● Approaching second round of “round robin”
- More materials following carbon
● Re-design of oven cage

EN 15188 continued – scaling

Legend of the Golden Sphere
● EN 14043 – explosion pressure characteristics
- Current Standard based on 1m3
- 20 litre is an annex
● As standardised no longer exists
● Variations in feed pipes and valves, hence delay time
![Page 11: Current Work on Dust Test Method Standardisation ongoing ...ukelg.ps.ic.ac.uk/52SP.pdf · Current Work on Dust Test Method Standardisation – ongoing work in CEN and IEC/ISO ...](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052515/5a75cafb7f8b9a4b538cbe22/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Compromise?
● 200 plus 20 litre spheres
- Identical designs
● Fewer than 10 1m3 vessels identified
- Most in Germany
• (may have changed)
● Magic words
- “for which conformity has be proven”
● 20 litre equal weighting
● 2nd hand verification to original
● Regular comparison and verification to known dust

80079-20-2 – test methods and …
● To provide a definitive test protocol for ‘combustible dust’
● (GHS)
● Plus test methods for classification
- Amalgamation of previous separate standards
- Plus some convergence of CEN/ASTM
- Database of properties!
![Page 13: Current Work on Dust Test Method Standardisation ongoing ...ukelg.ps.ic.ac.uk/52SP.pdf · Current Work on Dust Test Method Standardisation – ongoing work in CEN and IEC/ISO ...](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052515/5a75cafb7f8b9a4b538cbe22/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Combustible dust
● Or explosible or flammable dust cloud or
potentially explosive dust atmosphere.
● How hard do you hit it?
- Saying yes is easy
- Saying definitively no is harder
- Visual tests clearer
• Some tests closed
- Overdrive or underdrive?

When does a non-combustible dust combust?
● No dust cloud explosion hazard
- Is there still a fire hazard?
- YES!
- Can still ignite layers
Classification:PUBLIC
Increasing concentration

Other issues (80079-20-2)
● Scope limited
- Explosive atmospheres
- Not all test methods
● Confusion over resistivity/conductivity
- Not electrostatic
- Short circuits only
● Database:
- Refers to GESTIS dust
- Hence BAM oven

- Platinum wire
- (smouldering material)
● How hard do you try
- Attempted ignition duration
- Air flow
● How fast ?
