20L Spherical Explosion Tester
20L Spherical Explosion Tester is characterized by accurate test data and ease of use. Its through the compressed air will be a certain mass of dust specimen diffusion to the 20L spherical explosion container, the use of specified energy of the chemical ignition head or electrostatic ignition head of the dust cloud ignition, measurement of the explosion container in the pressure and time change curve, to obtain the maximum explosion pressure in the test and the maximum rate of rise of pressure, and then calculated to get the explosion index. Maximum explosion pressure, maximum explosion pressure rise rate and explosion index and other parameters can be used for explosion relief design and explosion suppression design. The instrument is mainly used for dust explosivity assessment in production and processing places such as aluminum powder, zinc powder, plastic powder, intermediates of organic synthetic drugs, wheat flour, sugar, wood chips, dyes, glue wood ash, milk powder, tea powder, tobacco powder, coal dust, plant fiber dust, and so on, to accurately determine the maximum explosion pressure of the dust cloud, the maximum rate of rise of the explosion pressure, the explosion index, the explosion of the lower limit and the limiting oxygen concentration and other parameters.
Applications
This instrument is used to measure the explosion index of dust or gas mixtures. The instrument uniformly sprays a dust or gas mixture into a confined space, and induces the test object to explode under the stimulation of an adjustable energy ignition source. The instrument measures the explosion index at the moment of explosion, including parameters such as the maximum explosion pressure pmax of dust, the maximum explosion pressure rise rate Kst, the lower explosion limit LEL of dust, the maximum explosion pressure pmax of gas, the maximum explosion pressure rise rate Kg, and the gas explosion limits (LEL and UEL), providing data support for the study of explosion suppression measures.
