The dangers of explosions to people and to fabric values can infrequently be hyped up. those risks are annoyed seeing that powders and fuel combinations with an inclination to blow up commonly don't sign their inherent possibility. yet there's one powder whose identify already shows the threat it represents. This substance is gunpowder. Whoever handles it truly is aware of the chance to which he's uncovered. He additionally is familiar with that it truly is he, himself, who can set off the explosion, he can even continue the threat below regulate. during this appreciate, gunpowder has turn into one of many extra risk free elements. Names and knowledge indicating possibility will create danger con­ sciousness in guy that's an important for the establishment of measures to guard himself and his fabric values. Gunpowder is just one of innumerable powders or dusts with an inherent dirt explosion chance. Technical improvement ends up in an ever starting to be variety of solids within the kind of airborne dirt and dust. very important right­ ties of solids can purely be placed to exploit in the event that they are found in the shape of dusts. simply within the type of airborne dirt and dust can flour be used for meals, concrete for buildings. No medicinal drugs might be made with out pharma­ ceutical items in powder shape. those are just a number of examples of powders being of important value to males. Their quantity can be elevated at will.

Pigment dust/air mixture 30 Fig. 1-30. Pigment dust/air mixture, ignited Fig. 1-31. 3 Explosion Pressure - Violence of Explosion 31 This standard ignition delay time also corresponds to a certain degree of turbulence of the dust/air mixture at the moment of ignition. Comprehensive explosion tests with plant equipment indicate that this degree of turbulence corresponds roughly to operating conditions within grinders, filter housings, spray driers or similar equipment. This dust testing procedure permits to create fairly homogeneous dust/air mixtures - even within large enclosures - and ensures that the course of test explosions is reproducible (see photographs Figs 1-29 to 1-3 I).

At open end and in most cases, oscillations are superimposed on the movement of the flame.

1-48. Minimum ignition energy vs dust concentration that - as was observed with flammable gases and solvent vapours - the minimum ignition energy of a dust depends to a high degree on its concentration and that there is, for each dust, a most easily ignitable concentration. e. the concentration giving highest values for maximum explosion pressure or maximum rate of pressure rise . However, it can be calculated from "optimum concentrations" with sufficient accuracy by means of the following equation which was confirmed experimentally for numerous dusts in the 1 m 3 explosion chamber: CEM, min = I C Pmax - (C(dp/dt)max - CPmax ) I CE M,min = most easily ignitable dust concentration C Pmax = concentration leading to the maximum explosion pressure C(dp/dt)max = concentration for optimum explosion violence.
