Notes	Percent Combustible Dust is the percent of the dust fraction, less than 40 mesh, which is combustible, as a percent of the total sample. Note, this test does not determine if the material is a combustible dust. See analyte (IMIS) codes E101 and M102 for tests to determine combustible dust. This analysis is generally used in support of Grain handling standard OSHA 1910.272 – OSHA staff please contact SLTC 801-233-5100.
