Summary[edit]

Description
English: Fig. 10. Demonstration of the explosibility of dust at Virginia Firemen's Training School, Richmond Virginia.

"A method that is easy and fairly reliable but not infallible is to pour the dust to be tested on to a piece of cheesecloth about a yard square, and after forming a bag shake the dust through the cloth on to a burning match, burning waste, open flame or similar source of ignition... If the dust ignites, it is definite proof it will explode... Care must be taken to prevent burning the persons making the test. The method should not be used to test aluminum or magnesium powder."
