Industrial Explosion Hazards
.jpg) | CHARP SOLUTIONS | | Our award winning powder profiling package. A graphical low cost method of identifying and ranking hazardous properties of powders. Ideally suited to clients with large numbers of unclassified powders who requires a simple, clear indication of which are potentially hazardous. |  Available for download to Subscribers | | |  | DUSTSCREEN | | Companies should be aware of their compliance obligations under the ATEX 137 EU Directive regarding potentially explosive atmospheres in the workplace, implemented as the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations (DSEAR 2002) in the UK. The provision of an appropriate basis of safety for powder handling operations requires a detailed risk assessment that must consider the fire and explosion properties of all processed materials. | | Download .pdf | | |  | FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS SERVICES | | Almost every industrial company is involved in the handling or flammable solvents, dusts, gases and thermally unstable substances. The introduction of new European Directives places additional regulatory requirements on all employers to characterise and control the hazardous properties of all material handled. | | Download .pdf | | |  | POWDER HAZARDS LEAFLET | | Essential data for hazard assessment and the prevention of fires and explosions in processing plants. | | Download .pdf | | |  | VALIDATA | | Safety data is critical in the definition of safe operating conditions for material handling and processing across all industries as it underpins the design and specification of safety systems. The recent EU Directive, ATEX 137, implemented as DSEAR 2002 in the UK, places considerable emphasis on understanding the fire and explosion properties of the materials you are handling or processing. It is essential therefore, that the data you have is the "right" data. This similarly applies to regulatory safety data used for transport, packaging and labelling classification. | | Download .pdf | | |
Chemical Reaction Hazards
 | CHEMICAL PROCESS EVALUATION SERVICES BROCHURE | | Detailing our services for chemical reaction hazard assessment, thermal runway studies, emergency relief design and vent sizing, optimisation of existing chemical processes and development of new processes. | | Download .pdf | | |  | PREVENT | | A structured procedure to reduce the need for an extensive reaction hazard assessment of a process. This technique permits a faster and more cost-effective mechanism for ensuring an effective basis of reaction safety using valid and proven engineering solutions - particularly if pressure relief is to be employed. | | Download .pdf | | |

Training
 | PROCESS SAFETY TRAINING COURSES | | Practical, technical training programmes tailored to meet your in-company training course needs. Technical courses for engineers, short training courses for plant operators and integrated training packages for all personnel. | | Download .pdf | | |
Instruments
 | ADIABATIC PRESSURE DEWAR CALORIMETER (ADC II) APPARATUS LEAFLET | | Apparatus to enable plant scale runaway reactions to be directly simulated in the laboratory. | | Available for download to Subscribers | | |  | BAM FALLHAMMER APPARATUS | | This apparatus is used to determine the sensitivity of a given solid, substance or liquid to drop-weight impact of known force. Compliant with UN Transport and EU Classification, Packaging and Labelling of Dangerous Substances. | | Download .pdf | | |  | BAM FRICTION APPARATUS | | This apparatus is used to determine the sensitivity of a given solid or gel-type substance to sliding (rubbing) contact. Compliant with UN Transport and EU Classification, Packaging and Labelling of Dangerous Substances. | | Download .pdf | | |  | Chilworth Instruments Catalogue | | A comprehensive range of process safety test equipment for R&D laboratories and on-site testing. A larger catalogue with over 20 new or revised products together with details on our training, calibration and maintenance services. | | Download .pdf | | |  | Dust Explosion Demonstrator Apparatus | | Even commonplace materials when dispersed as a dust cloud will explode if exposed to an ignition source. Such dust explosions can cause, injury to personnel, plant damage and lost production. Personnel awareness of the hazards from dust explosions is essential in reducing the risk. This apparatus is highly effective in achieving an understanding of the dangers involved. | | Download .pdf | | |  | KOENEN TUBE APPARATUS | | For regulatory compliance there are a number of tests which have to be performed on new materials in order that they can be classified and safely transported. One such method is the Koenen tube test, which measures the effect of heating under confinement on potentially explosive materials. | | Download .pdf | | |  | MINIMUM IGNITION ENERGY (MIE III) APPARATUS LEAFLET | | A low cost, reliable way to measure the ignition sensitivity of a dust cloud. | | Available for download to Subscribers | | |  | RELATIVE HUMIDITY CONTROLLED WORKSTATION | | Changes in ambient humidity greatly affects electrical flow and adhesion properties of powders. For this reason it is essential to perform many electrostatic measurements - especially on powders - under controlled humidity conditions. | | Download .pdf | | |  | Waste Screening Calorimeter | | Custom manufactured screening apparatus to provide accurate data on the potential
for unwanted exothermic reaction and associated pressure rise from the mixing of different waste substances. | | Download .pdf | | |
