6 The K St value, which represents the pressure rise velocity, or ∆P/∆t, can vary between 40 and 200 bar.m.s-1.This unit may look a little confusing, as one would rather expect a unit like bar/s, which would be easier to understand. The reason for using the unit bar.m.s-1 is that there is a need to classify fuels independently from the volumes of the enclosures in which they are …
