Molecular formula:
C25 H36 O5
IUPAC Name:

Results and discussion

Results:
The minimum ignition energy (with inductor in the discharge circuit) of Methylen epoxide
pivalate (batch 53533015, mean particle size = 193.3 ¿m) is:
Emin : 62 mJ

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

Minimum ignition energy with inductor* in the discharge circuit:

Emin = 62 mJ

The distance between the electrodes was approx. 6 mm. The sample was tested as received. The

mean of particle size was M = 193.3 ¿m. The experimental setup was checked with

niacinamide as a reference substance within the last four weeks. This test showed the

operability of the apparatus.

Due to the design of the apparatus only measurements with E=100 mJ and E=30 mJ are possible

in this energy range. The result for Emin is calculated via statistical evaluation of the single

experiments (Emin, calculated = 62 mJ).

*) Method according to VDI

Commentary:

Since the mean particle size is bigger than 63 ¿m the detected minimum ignition energy of the

tested material is strongly dependent on the mean particle size. Hence the result is only valid for

batches with M ¿ 193.3 ¿m.

Dusts with a minimum ignition energy Emin < 10 mJ are considered very ignitable.
