7/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH's Pittsburgh Research Laboratory conducted a study of the explosibility of various metals and elemental dusts, focusing on explosion temperatures. The data will aid in evaluating explosion hazards in the minerals/metals processing industries.
-
5/1/2000 - Peer reviewed journal articlesExplosion characteristics such as the minimum explosible concentration and the rock dust inerting requirements were measured for various combustible dusts. The explosion resistance characteristics of seals was also evaluated.
-
5/1/2000 - Peer reviewed journal articlesProvides information on the explosibility and ignitability properties of dust clouds that can be used to improve safety in industries that generate, process, use, or transport combustible dusts.
