2. Minimum ignition energy
A blow up type measurement unit following IEC-61241-
2-3 (1994-09, Section 3: Method for determination of
minimum ignition energy of dust/air mixtures), which is
cylindrical with volume 1.2 L, made by Kuhner Co.,
Mike3, measured with ignition source of electrostatics
energy discharge can be changed seven steps between
1 mJ and 300 mJ.
The minimum ignition energies for toners C and E are
1.9 mJ and 1.4 mJ, respectively. These values are very
small and show these toners can ignite very easily
compared with most organic compounds.
