Initial Dust Characterization

The most important information determined in this stage are Percent Combustible Dust. This is the percentage of the sample that has the potential to be combustible when it is dry and fine enough to pass through a 40 mesh sieve (less than 420 µm in size). The testing includes: 

• Percent through 40 Mesh Screen
• Percent Moisture Content
• Percent Combustible Material (calculated)
• Percent Combustible Dust (calculated)
