Abstract
Data obtained in the Bureau's study of dust explosions of 313 elemental
metals , alloys , catalysts , and ores comprising 54 types of material are summarized
. Information is given on ignition temperature , spark energy for ignition
, minimum explosion concentration , explosion pressure , rate of pressure
rise , and in some instances , the admixed inert dust and oxygen concentration
in an atmosphere required to prevent ignition of dust dispersions . The effects
of particle diameter on explosibility and pyrophoricity are also discussed .
