26、N 14034-2:2006+A1:2011EN 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
27、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
28、 explosion effects. !deleted text“ BS EN 14034-2:2006+A1:2011EN 14034-2:2006+A1:2011 (E)6 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.
29、 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 ab
30、out 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. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition

38、is bar s-1. 4 Test apparatus 4.1 General The standard test apparatus to determine the maximum rate of explosion pressure rise (dp/dt)maxof dust clouds is an explosion pressure resistant vessel of 1 m, as used for the determination of the maximum explosion pressure and the lower explosion limit of du
39、st clouds as well as the limiting oxygen concentration of dust/air/inert gas mixtures. The main components of the test apparatus are explosion vessel; dust dispersion system; ignition source; control unit; pressure measuring system.

BS EN 14034-2:2006+A1:2011EN 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 m in accordance with EN 14460. The aspect ratio of the cylindrical
41、 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 doo
42、r, 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.

44、acting valve, connecting tube, dust disperser) The dust to be dispersed is charged into a dust container having a volume of 5,4 dm. 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
45、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 t
46、o 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 dispers
47、er shall be not longer than 350 mm (see Figure 1).

48、matic; it is commercially available) For dispersing the dust, a perforated semicircular spray pipe (dust disperser) is mounted inside the explosion vessel, concentric with its wall. The spray pipe, with an internal diameter of 21,7 mm1)is fitted with 13 holes of a diameter of 6 mm (incl. one hole in
49、 each end cap) which are located as shown in Figure 3 (see also Figure 1). For coarse, voluminous, fibrous or poorly flowing dust samples, it may not be possible to properly discharge the dust through the dust dispersers detailed in Figures 3 and B.1. It may, therefore, be necessary to use 1) (e.g. EN ISO 1127, DN 20, 3/4“) BS EN 14034-2:2006+A1:2011EN 14034-2:2006+A1:2011 (E)11 special dust dispersers,
