Explosibility of Metal Powders

Sinopse

http://www.titanium.org/files/ItemFileA4681.pdf Jacobson, M. A. R. Cooper, and J. Nagy (1964), “Explosivity of metal powders,” U.S. Bureau of Mines Report RI 6516 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.
