Beim Entlüften des Prüflings können durch den Luftstrahl aufgewirbelter Staub sowie Splitter und Späne weggeschleudert werden.

shrapnel, metal fragments


Explanation:
In a military sense.

I would probably use something like "accelerated metal fragments" as in "Injury may be cause by metal fragments accelerated by the failure [of the unit under test]" or some such.
