In industries like manufacturing, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and mining, combustible dust poses a significant hazard. To prevent catastrophic incidents like dust explosions and fires, comprehensive testing is crucial. These tests assess the explosibility and flammability of various dust types, identifying materials prone to explosion or fire. This knowledge helps implement safety protocols such as ventilation, dust control, explosion prevention and protection as well as ignition source management. Regulatory bodies like OSHA and NFPA provide guidelines for handling combustible dust, and testing ensures compliance.
Testing results also influence equipment design and maintenance in dust-prone industries, minimizing ignition risks.
