Explosion Protection Design and Fundamental Burning Velocity

Explosion Protection Design and Fundamental Burning Velocity

Explosion Protection Design and Fundamental Burning Velocity

(OP)
I have been charged with designing a room containing styrene and associated pressure.  I am currently trying to size the blast panel opening.  I have the FM Global requirements for the design and they state that NFPA 68 may be more conservative.  NFPA 68 does not list styrene (or by any other name) in their Annex D where they give the Fundamental Burning Velocity which is needed to determine the required vent opening.   

Can anyone assist in helping me located the Fundamental Burning Velocity?

Thanks in advance.
