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.

What are you to not bring on plane?
Flammables, explosives, firearms, liquid containers over 3 ounces, knives or anything else illegal
What flammable liquid gives off vapors at below room temperature?
Gasoline is a flammable liquid that gives off vapors at temperatures below room temperature, which can ignite easily when exposed to a flame or spark.
What is highly inflammable liquid?
Gasoline is a highly inflammable liquid that is commonly used as fuel for vehicles. It is extremely volatile and can ignite easily, making it a significant fire hazard. Proper handling and storage are essential to prevent accidents.
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
What catches fire easily - LPG or kerosene?
LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) catches fire more easily than kerosene. This is because LPG is a highly flammable gas, while kerosene is a combustible liquid that requires a higher temperature to ignite.
What is the class flamable liquid label?
The class flammable liquid label is used to indicate that a substance is a flammable liquid that can ignite easily. It is typically represented by a red diamond-shaped label with a flame symbol and the words "Flammable Liquid" written on it. This label is used to warn individuals about the potential fire hazard associated with the substance.
How many classes of fire in sa?
There are five classes of fire in South Africa. They are: Class A - Solid combustibles Class B - Liquid combustibles and gases Class C - Electrical fires Class D - Metal fires Class F - Consumeable liquids
What is liquid fire?
Liquid fire is a term often used to describe a substance that can easily ignite and burn with a very intense flame. It can refer to highly flammable liquids like gasoline or other volatile substances. It should be handled with caution due to its high combustibility.
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.
Can a flammable liquid self ignite without an ignition source?
yes.
