Minimum Ignition Energy (MIE) – Dust Cloud Tester

Dust Cloud Minimum Ignition Energy Tester disperses a certain mass of dust specimen to be tested into the Hartmann tube device through a certain pressure of compressed air to form a cloud of dust, uses a specified spark energy to ignite the dust cloud, and obtains the minimum ignition energy of the dust specimen to be tested through a series of tests. It reflects the sensitivity of dust ignition from the energy point of view, and is suitable for evaluating the potential explosive hazard of dust clouds.

Applications

1. Chemical Industry: Determine the Material Effects (MI) of chemical dusts such as organic synthesis intermediates and plastic powders to guide explosion-proof safety design in production/storage processes;

2. Food Processing Industry: Test the MI of food dusts such as flour and sucrose powder to optimize safety measures for dust control in workshops;

3. Mining/Materials Industry: Assess the ignition risk of dusts such as coal dust, aluminum dust, and wood dust to assist in the configuration of explosion-proof facilities in mines and material processing plants;

4. Light Industry: Test the MI of tobacco powder and plant fiber powder to support workshop safety management and risk classification;

5. Safety Testing Institutions: Conduct compliance testing and certification for dust explosion risks based on standards such as ASTM and IEC.

Accessoriess

1. Hartmann tube testing device (core chamber for forming a uniform dust cloud)

2. Compressed air delivery assembly (including pressure regulation module for dust dispersion)

3. Spark ignition energy regulation assembly (provides different spark energies to suit testing needs)

4. Dust sample quantitative feeding device (precisely controls the quality of test dust)

5. Hartmann tube seal (ensures the sealing performance of the test chamber)

6. Calibration standard dust sample (calibration component for reference standards)

7. Data acquisition and analysis module (synchronously records ignition test data)

Test Procedures

1. Experimental Preparation: Check the integrity of the Hartmann tube, ignition assembly, and other accessories, and connect the compressed air delivery assembly.

2. Sample Preparation: Weigh the dust sample to be tested quantitatively and load it into the dust metering device.

3. Parameter Settings: Select the built-in reference standard (e.g., ASTM E2019) or customize the test parameters on the instrument interface.

4. Dust Cloud Formation: Start the compressed air system to disperse the dust into the Hartmann tube, forming a uniform dust cloud.

5. Ignition Test: Start the spark ignition assembly, gradually adjust the spark energy, and repeat the test to determine the minimum energy required to ignite the dust cloud.

6. Completion and Data Processing: After the test, shut down the equipment, clean the Hartmann tube and the feeding device, and export and analyze the minimum ignition energy (MIE) data.
