Products that Require Dust Testing

Most military products require dust testing. These products are often exposed to falling dirt, blowing sand or other fine particles. Mining and construction equipment typically operate in harsh environments. Dust testing is required for those items.

Many medical devices and consumer electronics must be tested. Even though they operate in clean environments, the presence of dust can impact operations. Opening in enclosures such as fans and vents can attract buildups of material. Over time, this buildup can impact operations.

In a worst case scenario, dust explosions can occur. Combustible dust can accumulate and create hazardous locations. Mitigating this potentially dangerous situation is extremely important.
