Does diesel fuel conduct electricity?
1. It's a liquid so physics says yes 2. HOWEVER, it is flammable and so running any ignition source through it may IGNITE it!!!
Why vapours of flammable substances pose such a serious hazard?
It is not the flammable liquid that ignites, but the vapors (or vapours for our British cousins) that ignite. Vapor can travel a considerable distance from the liquid to an unforeseen source of ignition, and flash back when ignited. They can fill a large area, with a resulting LARGE fire when ignited. The distinction between flammable and combustible is the "flash point" the temperature at which the liquid gives off an ignitable vapor- flammables have a flash point below 100 degrees F. Many flammable liquid vapors are heavier than air, and can settle into the bilges of a boat, awaiting ignition.
What is ment by the term flashpoint in relation to fuels?
It is the lowest temperature at which the vapour of a flammable liquid will ignite in air. The flashpoint is generally lower than the temperature needed for the liquid itself to ignite
Is blood flammable?
Liquid blood is not because of its high water content. Chips of curdled blood, however, are flammable. They don't ignite, but they do burn and char.
What is a flash point?
It is the lowest temperature at which a flammable liquid can receive an ignition source and be ignitable. However, once the ignition source is removed, the flammable nature may cease and the flame stop. At temperatures slightly higher, it is when an ignition source is introduced and the ignition source is removed that the flammable liquid continues to burn regardless of the ignition source. The lowest temperature at which a flammable liquid (e.g. gasoline) becomes capable of catching fire in the air. The correct term applied to non-liquids is the autoignition temperature or kindling point.
Do Liquid flammables ignite more easily than do liquid combustibles.?
In common usage flammable liquids are the same as combustible liquids in terms of their ability to catch fire. However, in the technical usage of hazardous materials transportation and of fire prevention, a combustible liquid has a higher flash point than a flammable liquid and is therefore less easily ignited. So, yes, flammable liquids ignite more easily than do combustible liquids.
Difference between combustible and noncombustible liquids?
A combustible liquid is flammable and will burn or explode and a true noncombustible liquid will not ignite. Thats whats up right there
Do liquid flammables ignite more easily than combustibles?
In common usage flammable liquids are the same as combustible liquids in terms of their ability to catch fire. However, in the technical usage of hazardous materials transportation and of fire prevention, a combustible liquid has a higher flash point than a flammable liquid and is therefore less easily ignited. So, yes, flammable liquids ignite more easily than do combustible liquids.
Do liquid flammables ignite more easily than liqiad combustibles?

So, yes, flammable liquids ignite more easily than do combustible liquids.
What is a flash zone in a distillation process?
Flash zone is the area between the liquid or substace being distilled, the gas forming at the top and the vapor inbetwwen them both. Usually the liquid being distilled is a flammable liquid, And the gas is less flammable without the peffect conditions but the vapor in between needs less conditions to ignite and will do so with usually just high temperatures or friction. That is why distilling stations hage cooling racks built into them so the vapor is too cold to ignite.
What is the main color on chemical safety signs?
Flammability is a measure of how easily a gas, liquid, or solid will ignite and how quickly the flame, once started, will spread. Flammable liquids themselves are not flammable; rather, the vapor from the liquids are combustible.
What is meant by flammable bituminous liquid?
Simple: a liquid which is flammable.
