What is the KST of wheat?

The KST value of wheat dust typically ranges from 100 to 250 bar·m/s, but varies based on several factors, so conducting a dust explosibility test on a representative sample is essential for accurate risk assessment.

The KST value of wheat dust, which measures its explosibility, generally falls within the moderate explosibility range, typically ranging from 100 to 250 bar·m/s. However, the KST value can vary based on factors such as particle size, moisture content, and the specific processing methods used at your facility. For example, finely ground wheat dust or dust with low moisture content may exhibit higher explosibility. Additionally, contaminants or additives in the dust can influence its explosibility. While these general KST values provide a useful starting point, they may not fully reflect the characteristics of the wheat dust in your operation. Therefore, to ensure an accurate risk assessment and implement proper safety measures, it is crucial to conduct a standardized dust test on a representative sample from your facility. This test will provide precise data, ensuring that explosion protection systems are appropriately designed and that safety standards are met.
