176|| tt | A mixture outlet valve for circulation. Connect the two electrodes with thin wires, then put the filler into the test tank, use the vibration of the vibrator (the vibration frequency, amplitude, and vibration time should be in accordance with Article 3.3) to enrich the filler and adjust it to the required height. Place a sealing gasket on the flange of the test tank, and then place a 300mm high metal cylinder to reliably connect it to the test tank. GB3836.7-87
The cylinder is equipped with a mixture inlet valve, a spark plug and a mixture sampling valve. The upper part of the round slip is covered with a plastic film and tied with a rubber band to form an integral seal between the test marrow and the round slip. Input the prepared explosive gas mixture into the test equipment. Use an optical interference gas analyzer to measure the concentration of the explosive gas mixture at the inlet, circulation outlet and sampling port. When the concentration reaches the requirements, close the valves at the inlet, circulation outlet and sampling port. Power is supplied to the electrodes through a time-adjustable protection circuit switch, which melts the thin wires between the electrodes to generate an arc, and cuts off the power supply at the end of the setting time. An oscilloscope can be used to record the arc short circuit process to obtain sufficiently accurate arc current 1. and arc duration values. If no ignition explosion occurs as a result of the test, a spark plug is used to detonate the upper explosive gas mixture after a few seconds to confirm that the test is effective.
If the arc does not ignite the upper explosive gas mixture, determine the height h of the mushroom-shaped lump formed in the filler. As a reference for determining the minimum safe height. At this time, part of the filling in the test tank must be released very carefully to avoid the mushroom-shaped hard lumps being broken due to the sliding of the filling.
Under the condition that the filling height h and the arc current 1. are kept at constant values, the longest arc current duration c that does not detonate in 10 tests is the limit of the arc current 1. under the specified filling height conditions. Allow duration t. Under the condition that the arc current 1. and the arc current duration t remain constant, the minimum filling height h that does not detonate after 10 tests is determined as the minimum non-detonation height h.
In the above two cases, the minimum safety height h must be determined according to formula (A1). . ho≥1.15h

Test equipment with grid electrical equipment must be equipped with a grid (as shown in Figure A2), but the use of reserve layers is not allowed. The grid must be fixed on the shell wall of the test tank with 6 evenly spaced fixing screws (Figure A3) so that the grid will not move during the test. Rubber belt
