BS EN 17077:2018EN 17077:2018 (E) 4 Introduction This document specifies a method for experimental determination of the b

25、urning behaviour of dust layers. The determination of burning behaviour of a dust layer is a screening test required to assess the type and magnitude of the fire risk associated with the dust. The determination of the burning behaviour enables assessment of whether a material layer, when in contact

26、with an external ignition source shows a reaction (e.g. ignition, smouldering). It also measures the ability of the locally induced reaction to propagate through the material in bulk or layer form. The behaviour in the test is characterized as a class number (burning class). The burning class allows

27、 qualitative estimations on the burning behaviour of a dust layer as well as on the probability of transfer of glowing particles and glowing nests from upstream connected parts of a plant. It is therefore in certain cases a basis for explosion prevention and protection measures. In addition to that

28、the burning class is used as basis to decide whether fire prevention and protection measures are necessary. Therefore this document gives added values to the following clauses of the EU directives: Directive 2014/34/EU of the European Parliament and the Council of 26 February 2014 on the harmonisati

29、on of the laws of the Member States relating to equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. The burning behaviour can be markedly affected by physical characteristics (e.g. particle size, packing density) and external factors (e.g. temperature, air movemen

30、t across the surface of the dust). To obtain comparable and reliable results, it is necessary to standardize the conditions under which the burning behaviour is measured. Further testing may be required for those substances which melt or for which rapid propagation of the combustion reaction is obse

31、rved in the initial test. If additional information is requested for labelling of the substances according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (i.e. whether labelling as H228: flammable solid is appropriate) and if testing according to this standard leads to a determination of burning class 4 or 5, then

32、 further testing according to the UN (United Nations) Manual of Tests and criteria test N.1 3 is required. BS EN 17077:2018EN 17077:2018 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard describes a test method for the determination of the burning behaviour of dust layers under defined initial conditions of air

33、flow, temperature and ignition. A test result of “burning class 1” with the described method does not mean that a dust cannot be ignited when dispersed in a cloud. This method is not suitable for use with recognized explosives, like gunpowder and dynamite, explosives which do not require atmospheric

34、 oxygen for combustion, pyrophoric substances, or substances or mixtures of substances which may under some circumstances behave in a similar manner. Expert advice should be called in, when any doubt exists about the existence of hazard due to explosive properties. 2 Normative references The followi

40、g combustion without light emission 4 Principle of the test method A representative sample of the test substance is placed at ambient temperature on a heat insulating surface and ignition is attempted. The air flow moving along the length of the dust train is kept constant during the test. Since the

41、 test result may depend on the temperature of the dust sample tests at elevated temperatures could be necessary (see Annex A). For melting substances the sample preparation or test equipment shall be modified (see 7.5). 5 Test equipment 5.1 General The test apparatus is placed in a laboratory fume c

42、upboard which creates an air flow of approximately 0,2 m/s to 0,4 m/s in the propagation direction of the reaction next to the surface of the dust. The slight overflow with air is necessary, since the sample may produce inert gas after contact with the ignition source. The inert gas can influence th

43、e burning behaviour of the dust. NOTE The higher air velocities and/or temperatures present in filter systems or dryers can change the burning behaviour when compared to that determined by the standard test procedure. Varying test conditions can simulate technical process conditions. If modified tes

44、t conditions lead to a different burning class then this should be mentioned in the test report along with a description of how test conditions have deviated from the standard. 5.2 Test apparatus 5.2.1 Board method The tests are performed on a clean, non-combustible thermal isolating board, or tile,

45、 with a plane surface placed in a laboratory fume cupboard. A mould (20 2) mm width, (10 1) mm height and min. 40 mm length is used to form a triangular powder train (see Figure 1).

46、 plate materials are possible (e.g. ceramic, marble, fibre insulation board). NOTE 2 Boards with a textile structure yield in a higher burning classes for melting dust samples (see 7.4 and Annex B).

The oxygen concentration should be regulated to achieve a blue coloured triangular flame with a length of approximately 10 mm to 20 mm and a diameter of 2 mm to 3 mm in the middle of the flame. See Figure 4. The temperature at the tip of the inner blue flame should be approximately 1 000 C. Key 1 platinum wire: total length 86 mm 1 mm l135 mm 1 mm,
