DIN EN 15051-3:2014-03 EN 15051-3:2013 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard gives details of the design and operation of the continuous drop test method that classifies the dustiness of solid bulk materials, in terms of health-related fracti

25、ons. A dustiness classification is presented to provide users (e.g. manufacturers, producers, occupational hygienists and workers) with information on the potential for dust emissions when the bulk material is handled or processed in workplaces. It provides the manufacturers of bulk materials with i

26、nformation that can help to improve their products. It allows the users of the bulk materials to assess the effects of pre-treatments, and also to select less dusty products, if available. It is envisaged that different branches of industry might develop their own classification schemes using experi

27、mentally determined dustiness values of the bulk materials of interest. Although this European Standard does not discuss the analysis of dust released from bulk materials (except in terms of health-related fractions), the test method produces samples with the potential for chemical analysis of the c

28、ontents. This European Standard was developed based on the results of the European project SMT4-CT96-2074 “Development of a Method for Dustiness Testing” (see 1). This project investigated the dustiness of 12 bulk materials, with the intention to test as wide a range of bulk materials as possible, i

29、.e. magnitude of dustiness, industrial sectors, chemical composition and particle size distribution. Meanwhile the method has been applied to investigate the dustiness of more than 500 different bulk materials (see 2). DINEN 15051-3:2014-03EN 15051-3:2013 (E)5 1 Scope This European Standard specifie

30、s the continuous drop test apparatus and associated test method for the reproducible production of dust from a bulk material under standard conditions, and the measurement of the inhalable and respirable fractions of this dust, with reference to existing European Standards, where relevant (see Claus

31、e 6). The continuous drop method intends to simulate dust generation processes where there are continuous falling operations (conveying, discharging, filling, refilling, weighing, sacking, metering, loading, unloading etc.) and where dust is liberated by winnowing during falling. It can be modified

32、to measure the thoracic fraction as well, but this modification is not described in this European Standard. It differs from the rotating drum method presented in EN 15051-2 in that in this European Standard, the bulk material is dropped only once, but continuously, while in EN 15051-2, the same bulk

33、 material is repeatedly dropped. Furthermore, this European Standard specifies the environmental conditions, the sample handling and analytical procedures and the method of calculating and presenting the results. A classification scheme for dustiness is specified, to provide a standardised way to ex

34、press and communicate the results to users of the bulk materials. This European Standard is applicable to powdered, granular or pelletised bulk materials. This European Standard is not applicable to test the dust released when solid bulk materials are mechanically treated (e.g. cut, crushed) or to e

35、valuate handling procedures for the bulk materials. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

41、nmental control Bulk materials that have a large specific surface area are sensitive to environmental conditions such as relative humidity, temperature and electrostatic effects. Additionally, the bulk materials moisture content, compaction, agglomeration etc. will have an influence on the results o

42、f the dustiness measurements. Therefore, for accurate results the test atmosphere shall be within a narrow range of temperature and humidity. In all cases the environmental conditions shall be documented. The following test conditions shall apply: relative humidity (RH): (50 10) %; temperature: (21
