Standard test dust
DMT Mineral Dust Type 2 | 7.2.2.2
General description
DMT mineral dust type 2 is produced in accordance with the IEC 62885 (2016) / IEC 60312 (2010) / DIN EN 60312 (2014) Chapter 7.2.2.2. The particle size range is between 90 µm - 200 µm. This mineral dust is used for dust absorption testing on carpets as described in Chapter 5, IEC 62885-2.
(Reference to ISO 679 / CEM 1 Description )
With a particle size range between 90 - 200 µm it is possible that partial demixing may occur during transport. It is therefore recommended to homogenize DMT Carpet Mineral Sand Type 2 before use, which can be achieved by mixing it with a laboratory tumble mixer.
Composition
The specified particle size distribution is shown in the following table:
x (µm) | Q3(x) (%) |
90 | 0 |
200 | 100 |
Transport and Storage
Partial segregation may occur during transport and storage. It is therefore recommended to homogenize the DMT Mineral Dust Type 2 | 7.2.2.2 before use, which can be achieved by mixing with a laboratory tumbler mixer. Please store in a dry and airtight original container.
Quality ensurance
In order to achieve reproducible quality, the raw materials and production are strictly controlled. The following quality controls are carried out: Monitoring the particle size distribution of raw materials Monitoring the particle size distribution of the end product
