Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: VDI 2263 (spark test)
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: prEN 14034 (suspended dust)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
- VDI 2263, SOP N° 013. Stationary spark (electrostatic) testing in a modified Hartmann tube.
- Physical explosivity values: Pmax and Kmax, prEN 14034, SOP N° 002,221-226. Pyrotechnic ignition at 10 kJ inside a sphere of 20L, pressure rise is then determined.
GLP compliance:
no

upon electrostatic spark (for fine powder)

Any other information on results incl. tables

- Electrostatic spark ignition testing:

EMI ("Energie Minimale d'Inflammation" / minimal energy needed to inflame) was estimated as >1J.

- Pyrotechnic ignition testing at 10 kJ:

dP/dt max = 199 bar/s

Pmax = 7.1 bar

Kst = 54 bar.m/s

Class of dust explosion: St 1

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
non explosive
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Based on the results the test item does not need to be classified for explosivity.
Executive summary:

Dried fine (<63 µm median size) powder Yeast extract is not explosive when submitted to electrostatic spark inflammation.

The minimal energy needed to inflame was estimated as >1J. Pyrotechnic ignition testing at 10 kJ showed pressure rise speed of 199 bar/s, Pmax = 7.1 bar and a St 1 class (minimal possible of 3 hazard classes) for dust explosion.
