Is all dust equally explosive?

To help plant managers, maintenance technicians, and safety professionals better understand combustible dust risks, Nederman offers Combustible Test Analysis (CTA) at the Nederman Innovation Center.

In this video, our experts demonstrate how different wood and composite dust samples react when tested under controlled laboratory conditions using the modified Hartmann Tube method, in accordance with ISO/IEC 80079‑20‑2:2016. The results show how particle size, distribution, and material composition can significantly influence explosion risk.

Watch the video to learn why dust testing is an important first step in assessing combustible dust hazards and making informed decisions about workplace safety and explosion protection.

Dust analysis: an important and integrated part of our combustible dust expertise

With the Nederman Innovation Centre and our extensive expertise in combustible dust, based on deep and long experience in dust handling solutions, Nederman understands the risks that combustible dust can pose within industrial processes. Small particles in the air, in facilities, or in air filtration solutions, if combustible and if they come into contact with an ignition source, can be catastrophic. Many industries, including food processing, metalworking, woodworking, pharmaceuticals, paint, bulk and powder, and many others, can have a combustible dust risk, and without testing, this risk may go unnoticed until it is too late.

We recommend testing all types of dust in all types of industries.
