EUROLAB, together with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 50281 testing. IEC EN 50281 applies to electrical equipment intended for use in the presence of combustible dust. The purpose of this method is to determine the minimum ignition temperature of the powder.
This standard IEC EN 50281 specifies two test methods for determining the minimum ignition temperature of dust for selecting electrical equipment intended for use in the presence of combustible dust.
Therefore, IEC EN 50281 is applicable to determining the minimum temperature that causes decomposition or ignition of a dust layer of a certain thickness deposited on a given hot surface. This method is particularly suitable for industrial equipment whose hot surfaces exposed to the atmosphere are covered with fine dust layers.
Combustible dusts are dangerous because they create potentially explosive atmospheres when dispersed in any form. In addition, combustible dust layers can ignite and act as a source of ignition for an explosive atmosphere. Therefore, equipment placed in an environment where dust clouds can form must be protected against dust ignition and have a surface temperature limitation below the temperature at which a dust cloud or layer will ignite.
EUROLAB assists manufacturers with IEC EN 50281 test compliance. Our test experts, with their professional working mission and principles, provide you, our manufacturers and suppliers, the best service and controlled testing process in our laboratories.
