Measures the lowest temperature at which ignition takes place when a powder product is dispersed in heated air. <br>The MIT Cloud Apparatus provides an objective way to measure the susceptibility of a dust cloud to auto ignition in a heated environment (e.g. with plant processing temperatures above 110 °C). When most powders are dispersed in heated air, spontaneous combustion will take place provided the air temperature is high enough

The RSD helps chemists and engineers quantify exothermic (and endothermic) reactions from materials of low hazard to high explosives. <br> <br> <br> <br>The heated calorimeter chamber has a circular pathway to allow air (or inert gas) to circulate repeatedly during the test. The gas passes through the sample chamber and over the main heater. Circulation is achieved by a high temperature fan and a control thermocouple regulates power to the heater to implement the test protocol.

BAM FALLHAMMER (BFH) test is used to measure the sensitiveness of solids and liquids to drop-weight <br>impact and to determine if the sample is too dangerous for transport. <br>Based on the observation from test the sample categorized as positive or negative.

For measurement of conductivity / resistivity of powder samples to enable identification of highly insulating powders which may create electrostatic ignition risks. <br>Powders will nearly always acquire electrostatic charge during processing, the level of charge being largely determined by the violence of the process.

For determining the sensitivity of powders to impact stimuli for assessing transport, packaging and regulatory classification. <br>Some powders are deliberately manufactured with highly energetic behavior, but occasionally it is an unexpected property of a new material. For regulatory compliance there are a number of screening tests which have to be performed on new materials in order that they can be safely transported. One such screening is a BAM Fallhammer test, which measures sensitivity to mechanical force.

Impact sensitivity is one of the most important charecteristics of energetic materials that defines the safety in handling, processing and transportation. <br>Website:[a]https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kelvn.in%2Fbam-fall-hammer[/a]
