EXPLOSION TEST

To ensure the functional safety during developement and approval of explosion protection systems, explosion tests have to be performed. Components, units, housings or explosion protection systems will be put to acid tests at the RTC.

Research, validation or certifcation of the test object can be performed during resepective developing phases. For certification of protection systems the whole process will be performed with consultation of a Notified Body.

Standards and Procedures

Following standards and appropriate procedures are in acc. with the accreditation DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018.

  • Listen Icon Test of housings, equipment, devices and vessels in acc. with DIN EN 14460:2018 „Explosion resistant equiment”
  • Listen Icon Test of explosion venting devices in acc. with DIN EN 14797:2006 „Explosion venting devices“
  • Listen Icon Test of flameless explosion venting devices in acc. with DIN EN 16009:2011 „Flameless explosion venting devices“
  • Listen Icon Test of pipe isolation in acc. with DIN EN 16020:2011 „Explosion diverters“
  • Listen Icon Test of explosion isolation flap valves in acc. with DIN EN 16447:2014 “Explosion isolation flap valves”
  • Listen Icon Test of explosion suppression systems in acc. with DIN EN 14373:2005 „Explosion suppression systems“

Test equipment

Explosion examination

To examinate explosions on devices in large scales, test equipment in different sizes and with high pressure resitances are available. A wide range of pipe sizes and plant components are available for the tests to verify the realistic installation distance.

Test in not atmospheric conditions

Examinations under special process technologic conditions

Due to high pressure resistances (PN 16/25) of our test equipment, test under non atmospheric conditions (e.g. increased process pressure) can be carried out. Examinations under special process technologic conditions are a specialty of RTC due to decade-long experience in the field of explosion protection.

Dust explosion tests on protection systems

Varius test media to verify the requested application area (Intended Use) are available.

Dust explosion test on protection systems can be carried out with dusts from ST1 up to ST 3, metal dusts, fabric dusts or melting dusts (e.g. requirement of DIN EN 16009).

Gases of explosion group I (e.g. Methane), IIA (e.g. Propane), IIB (e.g. Ethylene) or IIC (e.g. Hydrogen) are permanent on stock. Generating hybrid mixtures of different compositions to meet customers requirements is possible with this wide portfolio.
