Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: explosible adj., -ity suffix.

Etymology: < explosible adj. + -ity suffix: see -bility suffix. Compare French explosibilité (1782 or earlier).

1. The quality of being explosive; explosiveness.

1816 Ann. Philos. 8 119 The insufficiency of these means always to discharge the light gas, its explosibility,..and the difficulty of ascertaining when and where the dangerous accumulations thereof exist [etc.].

1879 Mind 4 335 All the other peculiarities both of choke-damp and of suffocation, such as convulsions and agony on the one hand, density and explosibility on the other.

1909 C. A. Keane Mod. Org. Chem. 315 This condition of strain in acetylene and its derivatives is a factor of importance in regard to their explosibility.

1922 Daily News 28 Jan. 5/6 The range of explosibility of water-gas-air mixtures is considerably wider than that of coal-gas-air mixtures.

2013 Q. A. Acton Issues in Technol. Theory, Res., & Applic. xiv. 465 Mining engineers and researchers have developed a number of methods for assessing the explosibility of the air gas-mixture.

2. The capacity of specific types of dust, esp. coal dust, to form an explosive agent when present in sufficient concentrations; the explosive power of a mixture of air and a given type of dust.

1910 G. S. Rice Explosibility Coal Dust 16 The Prussian investigators obtained inconsistent results when they attempted to classify dusts in the order of their relative explosibility.

1933 Standards Yearbk. (U.S. Dept. Commerce) v. 75 Investigations are continuing at the experimental mine on the relative explosibility of coal dust from coals from different parts of the United States.

1973 New Scientist 4 Oct. 57/2 He allocates two chapters to tests for dust explosibility and the application of these tests in establishing hazard criteria for various dusts.

2013 C. J. Bise Mod. Amer. Coal Mining iv. 94 The explosibility of coal dust also depends on the particle size because there is a much larger oxidation reactive surface for fine dusts.
