Scope: The method is applicable to wheat flour and wheat meal. In this standard the word “flour” and ‘meals/ground wheat’ (wholemeal) are not synonymous and their meanings are defined below.Bastak 4000 and 4500 model roller mills must be used to obtain the wheat flour sample.Bastak 1900 model hammer mill must be used to obtain the wheat meal sample.By converting the Falling Number value into the Liquefaction Number, it is possible to calculate the composition of flour mixtures of a desired Falling Number value.

Definition
The Liquefaction Number is a value obtained from the Falling Number value, using an empirical formula. It is used to measure the composition of flour mixtures of a desired Falling Number value.
