Nederman has introduced a new laboratory service in Charlotte that offers free assessments for combustible dust. The program is designed to help industrial facilities evaluate safety hazards by analyzing dust samples for potential flammability.
Why it matters
Combustible dust presents a significant danger in industrial environments, as contact with an ignition source can lead to catastrophic consequences. This service provides a accessible path for companies to confirm safety and mitigate risk.
Engineers at the Nederman Innovation Center perform density, particle-size, and combustible-dust analysis using a Modified Hartmann tube. All testing strictly follows EN ISO/IEC 80079-20-2:2016, part 7.1 safety standards.
