Dust Explosion Parameters: Wheat flour
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.
