Determination of explosion characteristics of dust clouds - Part 2: Determination of the maximum rate of explosion pressure rise (dp/dt)max of dust clouds
This standard describes a test method for the determination of the maximum rate of explosion pressure rise 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, explosives 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 2: Bestimmung des maximalen zeitlichen Druckanstiegs (dp/dt)max von Staub/Luft-Gemischen
Diese Norm legt ein Prüfverfahren für die Bestimmung des maximalen zeitlichen Druckanstiegs 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 2: Détermination de la vitesse maximale de montée en pression d'explosion (dp/dt)max des nuages de poussière
La présente Norme spécifie une méthode d’essai pour déterminer la vitesse maximale de montée en pression lors
de l’explosion de nuages de poussière dans un récipient fermé, dans des conditions initiales de pression et de
températures définies.
Cette méthode ne convient pas aux explosifs reconnus comme tels, comme la poudre et la dynamite, aux explosifs
dont la combustion ne nécessite pas d’oxygène, aux substances pyrophoriques ou aux substances et mélanges de
substances pouvant, dans certaines circonstances, se comporter de manière similaire. Lorsqu’il existe un doute sur
l’existence d’un phénomène dangereux en raison de propriétés explosives, il convient de faire appel à l’avis d’experts.
Ugotavljanje eksplozijskih značilnosti oblakov prahu - 2. del: Ugotavljanje največje hitrosti naraščanja tlaka eksplozije (dp/dt)max oblakov prahu
Ta standard opisuje preskusno metodo za ugotavljanje največje hitrosti naraščanja tlaka eksplozije oblakov prahu v zaprti posodi pod opredeljenimi začetnimi pogoji glede tlaka in temperature.
Ta metoda ni primerna za uporabo s priznanimi eksplozivi, kot so smodnik in dinamit, eksplozivi, ki za izgorevanje ne potrebujejo kisika, piroforne snovi ali snovi ali zmesi snovi, ki se lahko pod nekaterimi okoliščinami podobno obnašajo. Kadar obstaja kakršen koli dvom o nevarnosti zaradi eksplozivnih lastnosti, je treba poiskati strokovni nasvet.

EN 14034-2:2006+A1:2011 (E) 5 Introduction This European Standard specifies a method for experimental determination of the maximum rate of explosion pressure rise of dust clouds. The maximum rate of explosion pressure rise is the maximum value of the pressure rise per unit time during explosions of explosive atmospheres in the explosion range of a combustible dust in a closed vessel. The measurement of the maximum rate of explosion pressure rise forms the basis for explosion protection by design and construction of equipment, protective systems and components to reduce the explosion effects. !deleted text" SIST EN 14034-2:2006+A1:2011

1 Scope This standard describes a test method for the determination of the maximum rate of explosion pressure rise 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, explosives 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. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

The main components of the test apparatus are explosion vessel; dust dispersion system; ignition source; control unit; pressure measuring system. NOTE The 20 l sphere apparatus is an alternative explosion vessel for these determinations (see Annex C). SIST EN 14034-2:2006+A1:2011
EN 14034-2:2006+A1:2011 (E) 8 4.2 Explosion vessel The standard explosion vessel is an explosion pressure resistant, spherical or cylindrical vessel having a volume of 1 m³ in accordance with EN 14460. The aspect ratio of the cylindrical vessel shall be 1:1 ± 10 % (see Figure 1). NOTE It is recommended that the explosion vessel be designed to withstand an overpressure of at least 20 bar. The apparatus shall be fitted with electrical and/or mechanical cut-offs as far as possible to ensure that any openings in the vessel (e.g. main door, instrument ports, inlet or outlet) are properly closed before a test procedure can start. The apparatus shall also be equipped as far as possible to ensure that any residual pressure inside the vessel is vented before the vessel can be opened. SIST EN 14034-2:2006+A1:2011

EN 14034-2:2006+A1:2011 (E) 10 4.3 Dust dispersion system (dust container, fast acting valve, connecting tube, dust disperser) The dust to be dispersed is charged into a dust container having a volume of 5,4 dm³. Its aspect ratio is 3:1. It is designed to withstand an overpressure of at least 20 bar (see Figure 2). The dust container has an outlet at the base, through which the dust leaves the container. This outlet is closed by a fast acting valve activated by a blasting cap. The valve has a mushroom-shaped seal. The seal is held in position against the pressure in the dust container by a small ring. The ring is destroyed by firing a blasting cap and the valve opens due to the pressure inside the dust container (see Figure 2). The valve shall be designed so that it opens in less than 10 ms. For alternative valves see Annex A. The fast acting valve is connected to the side of the explosion vessel. The connecting tube between the fast acting valve and the dust disperser shall be not longer than 350 mm (see Figure 1).

NOTE If other dust dispersing systems than those described in this standard are used, a propagation of the explosion from the explosion vessel into the dust container, cannot be excluded.
