Minimum Ignition Temperature Test (MIT)

ASTM E1491 (dust cloud) / ASTM E2021 (dust layer)
This test method covers the minimum temperature at which a dust cloud will autoignite when exposed to air and heated in a furnace at atmospheric pressure. It is determined by introducing the dust into a BAM oven. As an alternative, the minimum temperature of self-ignition of dust layer can be measured using a hot plate set-up.
