Safety Specifications for Dedusting System
Used in Dust Explosion Hazardous Area
1 Scope
This Standard specifies the requirements for explosion-proof measures, maintenance
and overhaul, detection and verification of dedusting system that are used in dust
explosion hazardous area.
This Standard applies to the design, manufacturing, installation, acceptance, use and
maintenance of dedusting system that are used in dust explosion hazardous area.
This Standard does not apply to dedusting system that are used in production sites of
chemicals, mining, tunneling, fireworks and firecrackers, and commercial explosive
materials.

3 Terms and Definitions
For the purposes of this Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
dust
small solid particles in the atmosphere which settle out under their own weight, but
which may remain suspended in air for some time.
3.2
combustible dust
dust that can burn or glow in air and could form explosive mixtures with air at
atmospheric pressure and normal temperatures.
3.3
dust explosion hazardous area
the sites at where combustible dust, combustion-supporting gas or ignition source is
present.
3.4
dedusting system
a system which is used to gather the solid particles in gas- and solid-phase flows,
comprising dust collection hood or dust collection cabinet, air hose, fan, dust catcher
and control device.
3.5
explosion-proof device
the device which adopt the technique of prevention and control of dust explosion, to
prevent the formation of dust clouds or possible ignition sources and put combustible
If there exists toxic, corrosive dust and combustible dust, the deduster and air-duct
shall not adopt explosion-venting device for pressure release; it shall select the
explosion-suppression device that can charge fire extinguishing gas or powder media
into the deduster and air-duct to extinguish flames.
4.3 The box of the deduster shall meet the following requirements.
a) The box is made of a steel metallic material, or select flame-resistant materials
and take anti-static measures if other materials are used; it shall not use
aluminium metallic materials.
b) The design strength of the box shall be able to withstand the maximum explosive
pressure generated after explosion-proof measures are adopted; and the box
installed in buildings shall adopt steel metallic materials and welding structures.
c) The included angles between the box-plates of a square-box shall be arc-treated.
d) The internal surface of the box shall be smooth; the box made of steel metallic
material shall be treated for rust-proofing; aluminium coating shall not be used.
4.4 The operating conditions of the dry deduster shall include continuous dust
discharging and continuous dust conveying. It should not adopt settling chamber to
perform dust treatment.
4.5 The deduster used in explosion hazardous areas of aluminium-magnesium dust
and wooden product dust shall work under negative pressure conditions; for other dust
explosion areas, if dedusting system adopts positive pressure to blow dust, then it shall
adopt reliable measures to prevent the ignition sources.
4.6 Aluminium-magnesium dust shall not share the same dedusting system with iron
dust and other kinds of combustible dust; and the dedusting system shall not connect
with air-duct and equipment that carry combustible gas, high-temperature gas, smoke
dust and other industrial gases.
4.7 The entry of sparks into the air-duct and deduster of the dedusting system is not
allowed. For the production-processing system that exists suction of sparks into the
air-duct through dust hood or dust cabinet, it shall adopt the measures to block sparks
to enter into the air-duct and deduster.
4.8 The dedusting system shall be set up with control device meeting the following
requirements.
a) Start and stop. The dedusting system shall be started before the production-
processing system. When the production-processing system is stopped, the
dedusting system shall be delayed for 10 min before being stopped.
b) Protection interlock. The dedusting system shall be set up with protection
interlocking ...
