Hello, I am currently putting together a presentation on dust explosions. I am currently looking at the importance of understanding the characterisitics of the raw materials that you use. I am on with Kst value and Burning Group and this gives me a table/chart i.e <201kst = St 1 and Burning Group 1 means it will not explode - this info is great. There are however a lot of other date that needs to be considered such as Moisture contents, MIE, LIT, MIT and LEL and UEL which does not have any table / chart to refer to so it can be difficult to understand if data i am looking at such as a moisture contents of 7% is good or bad. Is there any other useful sites where i can get this info? Or get more help of understanding this? Not having much look. This is an area where i am learning in, so still lots to learn. Any help of this would be great. Thanks Katie
