👉Coal dust, when suspended in air, is capable of bursting into explosion & propogate it even in the absence of Firedamp.







Some factors are essential to cause Coal dust Explosion:-👇


  • coal dust must include sufficient volatile matter.

  • coal dust must have fineness particles.( Finer the coal dust, greater its inflammability.)

  • It should be in a dispersible condition in the form of Thick cloud.

  • It should be so dense that one can't see through it. the quantity amount to 30 to 40 g/m3.

  • A suitable source of Ignition should be present there.


Such circumstances generally exit after a Firedamp Explosion.👆
