Minimum ignition Temperature

The minimum ignition temperature (MIT) test determines the lowest temperature required to ignite arndust cloud in air.rnHot surfaces capable of igniting dust clouds can exist in a number of situations in industry. Insidernfurnaces, burners, and dryers of various kinds they constitute part of the process equipment itself.rnHot surfaces can also be generated by electrical heating and hot work, and by frictional overheating ofrnbearings and other mechanical parts.rn In areas in industry where explosible dust clouds may occur, it is clearly important to know thernminimum temperatures of any hot surfaces there, at which explosible dust clouds making contact withrnthese surfaces, will ignite.
