Flash Point is a carefully defined feature. It is the temperature at which the vapour of a volatile liquid will ignite to form an ignitable mixture in the presence of an ignition source. When the ignition source is removed, the combustion may well cease.
And of course, when the word MORE is used, there must be a second material/property with which it is to be compared.

What does change of state mean in science?
AnswerChanging from either a gas, liquid, or solid into one of the other two.Or more like a melting point
How do intermolecular forces affect the boiling point of liquid?
the stronger the intermolecular force, the more energy is required to boil the liquid ...
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.
What line represents boiling points on a phase diagram?
I cannot see any health angles. Water boils at 2l2 Fahrenheit and at 220 Fahrenheit ( called the Flash Point) will no longer remain in the liquid but is transformed directly into steam. Water boils at l00C in the Centigrade system. water will commence to boil at 2l2 F, but 220 is more like it. This is the Flash Point of steam .
Why boiling point of potassium higher than its melting point?
It requires much more energy to convert the liquid potassium into a vapor than it does to convert the solid to a liquid.
Which class of hazardous material has a flash point of not more than 60 celsius?
Class 3, Flammable liquid, has a flash point of not more than 60 degrees C.
Can you change flammability of compound?
It depends on the substance. Yes, all flammable substances have a "flash-point". Every substance has a different flash point expressed in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. If the temperature is below the flash point you will not be able to ignite it. And the higher the temp above the flash-point the more readily it will burn.
What should you do if your kerosene flash is increasing in the column?
By flash, it is assumed you mean the amount flashed in the flash zone after entering a column. If the amount flashed is more than you desire, lower the feed temperature. If the feed is some amount of saturated liquid and vapor, you will want to increase the percentage of liquid fed to the column. This applies to a general distillation column with more flash than desired.If this is a crude oil atmospheric distillation column, and you are getting too much kerosene in a side draw, your cut point probably does not meet the required specification. In this case you will need to adjust your pumparound rates and/or increase the amount of reflux.
What is incombustible material?
An incombustible gas is one that does not burn or explode.(Incombustible means something that cannot be burnt.)Some good examples of incombustible gases arenitrogen (which is fortunate, because 78% of the air is nitrogen, and if nitrogen was combustible, the air would explode!)carbon dioxideargon

Who is the main star of flash point?
Keanu reeves (if you want more or to check my answer, use www.imdb.com)
How do you increase the flash point in diesel oil?
A low flash point in diesel is caused by contamination of the diesel with lighter petroleum products such as kerosene or gasoline. Drawing more lighter products out of the fractionation tower could reduce contamination of the heavier products. Improving fractionation and improving diesel product stripping performance will raise the flash point.
Which catches fire more quickly petrol or diesel?
petrol has a lower flash point and is more volatile than diesel.
