Explosion Prevention Pneumatic Conveying Dust Collection EDUCATIONAL WEBINARS You need to have dust explosion test data on your materials and powders to conduct a Dust Hazards Analysis (DHA) on your facility as required by NFPA 652. With the right strategy, this testing need not cost the earth. In this webinar, we'll present a cost-effective approach for identifying the mini- mum, pertinent test data required to effectively support a DHA. NFPA 652: Standard on the Fundamentals of Com- bustible Dust requires the owner/operator of facili- ties with combustible particulate solids or dusts to conduct a DHA, which is a systematic evaluation of potential dust re, de agration, and explosion hazards, and manage those identi ed hazards. NFPA 652 further requires that the DHA be based on laboratory test data of materials that are representative of the combustible particulate solids present in your facility. This data is most reliably obtained by conducting laboratory testing on dust sample(s) from your facility. This webinar will discuss: • A cost-effective, phased, testing protocol for determining dust re and explosion risks for any particular handling/processing operation and establishing safety parameters. • Laboratory tests, and when they're needed, to determine powder and dust ignition sensitivity by the type of ignition sources associated with the particular operations and processing equipment in your facility. • Laboratory tests, and when they're needed, to determine the severity of a dust cloud explosion for establishing the required level of explo- sion protection (relief venting, suppression systems, etc.) • Factors affecting the ignition sensitivity, explosion severity, and self-heating characteristics of powders.
