The knowledge of the thermal parameters of a particular concrete is essential for thermal design of a building, but also could help to identify and assess the state of a concrete structure. Active thermography has the potential to be applied onsite and to provide a fast investigation of thermal properties. In this work, three different concrete samples were investigated by active thermography in reflection and in transmission setup. It was found that this method yields the same results without direct contact as the Transient Plane Source (TPS) method as an established inspection tool.
According to international standards several safety characteristics of dusts are determined in the 20-L sphere (also known as SIWEK-Chamber). Dust cloud ignition is carried out using pyrotechnical igniters. Due to various disadvantages of pyrotechnical igniters the need for alternative ignition sources arises again and again. An alternative ignition source could be the so-called 'exploding wire' or 'fuse wire'. The paper presents test results of a comparative study between both ignition sources for the determination of the safety characteristics Maximum Explosion Pressure and Maximum Rate of Explosion Pressure Rise of selected dusts in the 20-L sphere. In addition the propagation of flame and electrical arc was analysed by high speed camera recordings. Tests in a windowed autoclave were performed to get information on the influence of turbulence during ignition on the shape of the generated flame (electrical arc) and its propagation. Turbulence measurements with a LDA system in the windowed autoclave as well as in the 20-L sphere allowed investigation if the ignition sources led to an additional turbulence increase at the moment of ignition in comparison to tests without ignition.

In addition to that the flame/arc propagation of both ignition sources was analysed by high speed and IR camera recordings. Tests in a windowed autoclave were performed to get information on the influence of turbulence generated due to dispersion of the dust on the shape of the generated flame and its propagation. Turbulence measurements in the windowed autoclave as well as in the 20-L-sphere with a LDA System allowed investigation if the igniter led to turbulence increase at the moment of ignition in comparison to tests without ignition.
