Default explosive situation?

Subject

What everybody is dancing around is "LEL" or "Lower Explosive Limit".

It is that point where the dust volume in the air WILL explode.

An entire industry exists to provide instrumentation to measure "LEL"
for various products.

There are published tables of LEL values and are usually available from
the instrumentation manufacturer.

Been there, done that, but that was a while ago.
