Dust Explosion Parameters: Fructose_400um to Magnesium_28um
Combustible dust explosion parameters — Kst (deflagration index), Pmax (maximum explosion pressure), MEC (minimum explosible concentration), and MIE (minimum ignition energy) — for agricultural dusts, food products, coal, plastics, metals, and chemicals. Data from Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook 8th Ed., Table 23-6.
| dust material | dust category | kst bar m per s (bar·m/s) | mec g per m3 (g/m3) | mec note | median particle size um (um) | mie note | pmax barg (barg) |
