The aim of the article is to investigate the relative dispersion properties of the Well Mixed class of Lagrangian Stochastic Models. Dimensional analysis shows that given a model in the class, its properties depend solely on a non-dimensional parameter, which measures the relative weight of Lagrangian-to-Eulerian scales. This parameter is formulated in terms of Kolmogorov constants, and model properties are then studied by modifying its value in a range that contains the experimental variability. Large variations are found for the quantity $g^*=2gC_0^{-1}$, where $g$ is the Richardson constant, and for the duration of the $t^3$ regime. Asymptotic analysis of model behaviour clarifies some inconsistencies in the literature and excludes the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process from being considered a reliable model for relative dispersion.
