This section is Part 12 of "Explosive Environments".

This section is drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.

This section replaces GB/T 12476.8-2010 "Electrical equipment for flammable dust environment. Part 8. Test methods to determine the minimum dust Method of ignition temperature ", GB/T 12476.9-2010" Electrical equipment for flammable dust environment-Part 9. Test method-Resistance of dust layer Method for determination of the rate "and GB/T 12476.10-2010" Electrical equipment for flammable dust environment Part 10. Test methods Determination of minimum ignition energy of gas mixtures. This section integrates GB/T 12476.8-2010, GB/T 12476.9-2010 and The content of GB/T 12476.10-2010 is the same as GB/T 12476.8-2010, GB/T 12476.9-2010 and GB/T 12476.10-2010 The main technical changes are as follows.

--- Modified the requirements for dust samples (see Chapter 4, 4.1 and 5.1 of GB/T 12476.9-2010, GB/T 12476.9-2010 Chapter 5, GB/T 12476.10-2010 Chapter 5);

--- Increased the determination of flammable dust and flammable fly floes (see Chapter 5);

--- Added procedures for determining the characteristics of flammable dust or flammable fly floes (see Chapter 6);

--- Modified the test method of minimum ignition temperature of dust cloud (see 8.1, Chapter 5 of GB/T 12476.8-2010);

--- Modified the test method for the minimum ignition temperature of the dust layer (see 8.2, Chapter 4 of GB/T 12476.8-2010);

--- Method for determining the minimum ignition energy of dust/air mixture chapter);

--- Modified the dust resistivity test (see 8.4, Chapters 4, 6 and 7 of GB/T 12476.9-2010);

--- Increased surface temperature distribution measurement of hot metal plates (see Appendix A);

--- Added vertical tube (improved Hartmann tube) equipment (see Appendix D).

This section uses the translation method equivalent to ISO /IEC 80079-20-2:2016 "Explosive atmospheres Part 20-2. Material properties may be Test method for flammable dust.

The following editorial changes have been made in this section.

--- Modified the standard name;

--- Include the contents of the errata ISO /IEC 80079-20-2:2016/COR1:2017;

--- Added the network address of GESTIS-DUST-EX in Appendix G for easy use.

The previous versions of the standards replaced by this section are.

--- GB/T 12476.8-2010;

--- GB/T 12476.9-2010;

--- GB/T 12476.10-2010.

1 Scope

This section of the Explosive Environment specifies test methods for the determination of combustible dust and combustible dust layers for the presence of such substances In order to correctly select and install electrical equipment and non-electrical equipment (mechanical equipment, etc.) for flammable dust environments.

The measured flammable dust characteristics apply to the following environmental conditions.

--- Temperature. -20 °C ~ 60 °C;

--- Pressure. 80kPa ~ 110kPa;

--- Normal oxygen content (volume ratio) in the air. usually 21%.

The test methods specified in this section do not apply to.

--- Known explosive substances, propellants (such as gunpowder, explosives), or substances or mixtures with similar characteristics under certain conditions; or

--- Explosive substances or propellants that can be burned without the need for atmospheric oxygen.
