When miners worked an 8-hour shitt pattern, the mined coal would be left in the shaft until the next day. during which time the methane would start to be evolved into the air in the shaft. The methane would collect in pockets at the roof of the mine and form an explosive layer. The mines returning for the next shift would carry with them the means of igniting the gas. hat mounted candles, and hand carried oil lanterns. The resulting ignition of the methane would in itself not necessarily be fatal for the miners. It was the secondary ignition of coal dust, throw up into a cloud by the methane...

Groups II & III are further sub-divided depending upon the hazard.Group II gases are grouped together based upon the amount of energyrequired to ignite the most explosive mixture of the gas with air. Group III dusts are subdivided according to the nature of the explosive atmosphere for which it is intended. Ex d Flameproof The equipment that may cause an explosion is contained within an enclosure which can withstand the force of an explosion and prevent transmission to the outside hazardous atmosphere. This method of protection also prevents the hazardous atmosphere from entering the enclosure...

Explosive gases, vapors and dusts have different chemical properties that affect the likelihood and severity of an explosion. Such properties include flame temperature, minimum ignition energy, upper and lower explosive limits, and molecular weight. Empirical testing is done to determine parameters such as the maximum experimental safe gap. minimum ignition current, explosion pressure and time to peak pressure, spontaneous ignition temperature, and maximum rate of pressure rise. Every substance has a differing combination of properties but it is found that they can be ranked into similar ranges,...

Auto ignition temperatures The auto ignition temperature of a liquid, gas or vapor is the temperature at which the substance will ignite without any external heat source. The exact temperature value determined depends on the laboratory test conditions and apparatus. Such temperatures fo common substances are: The surface of a high pressure steam pipe may be above the autoignition temperature of some fuel/air mixtures. Auto ignition temperatures (dust) The auto ignition temperature of a dust is usually higher than that of vapours & gases. Examples for common materials are: Substance Sugar Wood Flour Grain...
