In areas which are explosion-hazardous due to com-
bustible dusts, the surface temperature must not exceed
two-thirds of the ignition temperature in °C of the
dust/air mixture. The temperatures of surfaces on which
hazardous deposits of combustible dusts can be formed,
must not exceed the glow temperature of the relevant
dust minus 75°K. Greater safety margins are required if
the thickness of the dust layer exceeds 5 mm.

The corresponding surface temperatures can be derived
from the lowest values for glow and ignition tempera-
tures of dusts specified in the HVBG/BIA Report 12/97

Synthetic rubber, soot-containing:
Glow temperature 220° C - 75° C = 145° C max. permissible
surface temperature
Stearic acid:
Ignition temperature 190° C x 2/3 =126° C max. permis-
sible surface temperature.
