Dust Explosions can occur in many industries where powdered materials are handled. These include Pharmaceuticals, Fine Chemicals Food, Metals, Paper, Plastics, Rubber, and Textiles. The consequences of which can be catastrophic. SciMed through our partners are able to offer a full range of dust explosivity characterisation tests including: Minimum Ignition Energy (MIE) Minimum Ignition Temperature (MIT) Minimum Explosible Concentration (MEC) Explosion Severity (Kst, Pmax and dP/dtmax) Limiting Oxygen Concentration (LOC) Layer Ignition Test (LIT) Powder Resistivity Charge Relaxation Drying Tests Contact Us ENQUIRE CALL US LIVE CHAT * Live chat opening hours Mon – Fri 9:15 to 16:30 (UK Time)
The Ring Shear Tester RST-XS.s is compact and bench-mounted. It is designed for applications with powders of up to particle size 1.5 mm. This RST is particularly well-suited for small sample volumes. The RST-XS is an easy-to-operate, computer-controlled tester for the precise determination of the flow properties of fine-grained powders and bulk solids. It is appropriate for those industries and research institutions which deal with either fine-grained materials or have only limited amounts of powders for testing (e.g. pharmaceutical, food, chemical industries and others). The tester measures the flowability and other physical quantities like the internal friction of a powder,…
