Standard test dust
DMT Talcum Test Dust | 13.4
General description
DIN EN 60529 provides a system for classifying the degrees of protection of electrical equipment. DMT talcum test dust is used for the dust test for the first code numbers 5 and 6 in accordance with Chapter 13.4.
Composition
The specified particle size distribution is shown in the following table:
| x (µm) | Q3(x) (%) |
| 75.0 | 100.0 |
Transport and Storage
Partial segregation may occur during transport and storage. It is therefore recommended to homogenize the DMT Talcum Test Dust | 13.4 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
