Determination of explosion characteristics of dust clouds - Part 4: Determination of the limiting oxygen concentration LOC of dust clouds

This document describes a test method for the determination of the limiting oxygen concentration of dust clouds in a closed vessel under defined initial conditions of pressure and temperature.
This method is not suitable for use with recognised explosives, like gunpowder and dynamite, substances which do not require oxygen for combustion, pyrophoric substances, or substances or mixtures of substances which may under some circumstances behave in a similar manner. Where any doubt exists about the existence of hazard due to explosive properties, expert advice should be sought.

Bestimmung der Explosionskenngrößen von Staub/Luft-Gemischen - Teil 4: Bestimmung der Sauerstoffgrenzkonzentration SGK von Staub/Luft-Gemischen

Diese Norm legt ein Prüfverfahren für die Bestimmung der Sauerstoffgrenzkonzentration von Staubwolken in einem geschlossenen Behälter unter definierten Anfangsbedingungen von Druck und Temperatur fest.
Dieses Verfahren ist nicht geeignet für Sprengstoffe wie Schießpulver und Dynamit sowie Stoffe, die ohne Sauerstoff verbrennen, pyrophore Stoffe oder Stoffe bzw. Stoffgemische, die sich unter bestimmten Umständen ähnlich verhalten. Wenn Zweifel über eventuell vorhandene Gefährdungen durch die Explosions-wirkung bestehen, sollten Fachleute zu Rate gezogen werden.

Détermination des caractéristiques d'explosion des nuages de poussière - Partie 4: Détermination de la concentration limite en oxygène CLO des nuages de poussière

La présente norme décrit une méthode d'essai permettant de déterminer la concentration limite en oxygène des nuages de poussière dans un récipient fermé, dans des conditions initiales définies de pression et de température.
Cette méthode ne convient pas aux explosifs reconnus, tels que la poudre, la dynamite, les explosifs dont la combustion ne nécessite pas d'oxygène, les substances pyrophoriques ou les substances ou mélanges de substances susceptibles de se comporter de manière similaire dans certaines conditions. Il convient de demander l'avis d'un expert lorsqu'un doute subsiste en ce qui concerne l'existence d'un phénomène dangereux dû aux propriétés explosives.

Ugotavljanje eksplozijskih značilnosti oblakov prahu - 4. del: Ugotavljanje mejne koncentracije kisika LOC oblakov prahu

Ta dokument opisuje preskusno metodo za ugotavljanje mejne koncentracije kisika oblakov prahu v zaprti posodi v opredeljenih začetnih razmerah glede tlaka in temperature.
Ta metoda ni primerna za uporabo s priznanimi eksplozivi, kot so smodnik in dinamit, snovi, ki za izgorevanje ne potrebujejo kisika, piroforne snovi ali snovi ali zmesi snovi, ki se lahko v nekaterih okoliščinah podobno obnašajo. Kadar obstaja kakršen koli dvom o nevarnosti zaradi eksplozivnih lastnosti, je treba poiskati strokovni nasvet.
