  2. Flammable liquid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flammable_liquid

    A flammable liquid is a liquid which can be easily ignited in air at ambient temperatures, i.e. it has a flash point at or below nominal threshold temperatures defined by a number of national and international standards organisations.

  3. Combustibility and flammability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combustibility_and...

    For example, in the United States flammable liquids, by definition, have a flash point below 100 °F (38 °C)—where combustible liquids have a flash point above 100 °F (38 °C). Flammable solids are solids that are readily combustible, or may cause or contribute to fire through friction.

  4. Flash point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_point

    A certain concentration of a flammable or combustible vapor is necessary to sustain combustion in air, the lower flammable limit, and that concentration is specific to each flammable or combustible liquid. The flash point is the lowest temperature at which there will be enough flammable vapor to support combustion when an ignition source is ...

  5. Flammability diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flammability_diagram

    Such diagrams are available in the speciality literature. [1] [2] [3] The same information can be depicted in a normal orthogonal diagram, showing only two substances, implicitly using the feature that the sum of all three components is 100 percent. The diagrams below only concerns one fuel; the diagrams can be generalized to mixtures of fuels.

  6. Oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil

    Oils are usually flammable and surface active. Most oils are unsaturated lipids that are liquid at room temperature. The general definition of oil includes classes of chemical compounds that may be otherwise unrelated in structure, properties, and uses. Oils may be animal, vegetable, or petrochemical in origin, and may be volatile or non ...

  7. Fire point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_point

    The fire point, or combustion point, of a fuel is the lowest temperature at which the liquid fuel will continue to burn for at least five seconds after ignition by an open flame of standard dimension. [1] At the flash point, a lower temperature, a substance will ignite briefly, but vapour might not be produced at a rate to sustain the fire ...

  8. HAZMAT Class 3 Flammable liquids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAZMAT_Class_3_Flammable...

    Class 3: Flammable Liquids A flammable liquid is a liquid having a flash point of not more than 60 °C (140 °F), or any material in a liquid phase with a flash point at or above 37.8 °C (100 °F) that is intentionally heated and offered for transportation or transported at or above its flash point in a bulk packaging. The following exceptions ...

  9. Gasoline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline

    Gasoline can be released into the Earth's environment as an uncombusted liquid fuel, as a flammable liquid, or as a vapor by way of leakages occurring during its production, handling, transport and delivery. [83] Gasoline contains known carcinogens, [84] [85] [86] and gasoline exhaust is a health risk. [75]
