What Is a Combustible Dust Explosion?

- A recent industrial explosion in Singapore left three workers dead and several more injured. The cause? Combustible dust. Each year, hundreds of combustible dust fires and combustible dust explosions occur in the United States alone. Learn more about the fire and explosion hazards of combustible dust and resources to prevent accidents in this episode of Learn Something New™ by NFPA Journal®.
PLUS: Read a recent NFPA Journal article on this topic: www.nfpa.org/N...

UPDATE: The list of NFPA codes and standards related to combustible dusts shown at 3:50 is missing NFPA 664, Standard for the Prevention of Fires and Explosions in Wood Processing and Woodworking Facilities, and NFPA 655, Standard for Prevention of Sulfur Fires and Explosions.
Apart from the fire hazard, breathing that colored dust also doesn't seem healthy.
That coloured dust is not inorganic
@@lassi980organic does NOT mean it’s good to be in your lungs
@@juancena930 for general purposes its organic extract from natural sources like flowers that too only physically transformed. but idk if powder is harmful to breath because its mixed with water & also does the powder in air directly go in lungs i will say no.
Amazing learning about this because of Certain Scientific Railgun and Certain Magical Index
Thought this was gonna be just another random UA-cam video of no good value, but this is literally the video explanation I wanted to find. Such a good one. Thanks.
Anyone hear from Joker game?
(USCSB channel) - United States Chemical Safety Board - has some _incredible_ workplace accident CGI recreations. See the videos _Inferno: Dust Explosion at Imperial Sugar_ and _Combustible Dust: An Insidious Hazard._ It's unreal how ordinary dust can level a building in an instant.
That's where I came from, this was recommended alongside.
Happy birthday NFPA. Dust explosions have been known for a very long time. In England there is a water powered gristmill centuries old, that employees a method of arresting possible spark sources to minimize the occurrence of flour explosions. In the US, DuPont corporation has a full-blown safety program, portions of which are devoted to minimizing the occurrence of dust explosions. I take issue with the “C” of confinement. While confinement certainly helps trigger a dust explosion, large amounts of flammable dust that are not necessarily confined will ignite. The pressure wave generated by the expanding flame front serves as a “confinement” and an explosion will result if you have enough fuel.
That turned into hell real quick
Honestly, I never knew about this phenomena. Thank you for the insightful video.
To my surprise, I just discovered that sugar, as it's being processed and creating dust, can also cause catastrophic flash fires and explosions. Aluminum dust as well. I've known about the danger of combustible dust for many years but wrongly thought only a few substances could do this.
Great to see NFPA Journal Back.
yea
That’s creepy, I never knew that this was a thing
It's some scary stuff, unfortunately not being taken seriously by many fortune 500 companies
When I worked with flour, we had thick dust everywhere, so they made us a central vacuum system with multiple outlets for us to plug vacuum hose into all out of PVC pipe. You couldn't touch it without it shocking you. Their solution wrap all the PVC with bare ground wire. It was NOT a good idea!!! You could watch up the wall and across the ceiling blue sparks jumping from loose spots in the ground wire to the statically charged PVC pipe. The perfect ignition system for an explosion! Ofcourse it took months for anything to be done with it! Thank God it never ignited!
Where did you work?
Yesterday, 8 people died in a grain silo explosion in brasil
Intriguing...
Learned about this from Reddit of all things
It depends of the kind of dust the amount of dust, the place this dust is being dispersed in and rightfully like he says, ignition source and confinement.
Could my dusty ass lazy room explode from dust by electrical spark ignition. Theres not much airflow and its not much noticable but you can see it here and there.
I didnt know dust can explode so i got kinda worried
❤❤❤
Oh it can never happen here; what could go wrong? your just a pessimist just relax!
