1.1 This test method covers the determination of the ignition of a dust dispersed in air, within a closed vessel.

1.2 This test method provides a measure of dust explosion pressure and rate of pressure rise. It does not provide a definitive determination of the flammability of a dust and has other severe limitations which are identified in Section 5. The preferred method for the design of safety equipment is Test Method E1226.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use.
