The flash point of a volatile liquid is the lowest temperature at which it can vaporize to form an ignitable mixture in air,
Flash point varies from one fuel oil to the other,
e.g.,FuelFlash pointEthanol (70%) 16.6 °C (61.88 °F)Gasoline (petrol) -43 °C (-45 °F)Diesel >62 °C (143 °F)Jet Oil >60 °C (140 °F)Kerosene (paraffin oil) >38°-72 °C (100°-162 °F)Vegetable oin(canola) 327 °C (620 °F)Biodiesel >130 °C (266 °F)

What is the importance of flash point of oil?
The flash point can be used to determine the transportation and storage temperature requirements for lubricants.
At what temperature does motor oil and hydraulic fluid and jet fuel burn?
Depends on the fire point stated in techincal data sheet for particular item. Generally , Motor Oil start flashing at 220 - 240 degree celsius. Hydraulic Oil flashing at 200 - 200 degree celsius. Jet fuel flash point , 38 C . Open air burning at 260 - 315 C
What are properties in oil?
1.viscosity 2.flash point 3.effects of oxidants

What oil is CST 180?
Fuel oil is a fraction obtained from petroleum distillation, either as a distillate or a residue. Broadly speaking, fuel oil is any liquid petroleum product that is burned in a furnace or boiler for the generation of heat or used in an engine for the generation of power, except oils having a flash point of approximately 40 °C (104 °F) and oils burned in cotton or wool-wick burners. In this sense, diesel is a type of fuel oil. Fuel oil is made of long hydrocarbon chains, particularly alkanes, cycloalkanes and aromatics. The term fuel oil is also used in a stricter sense to refer only to the heaviest commercial fuel that can be obtained from crude oil, heavier than gasoline and naphtha.
What is flash point of crude oil?

Smoke point and flash point what can happend to oil?
Smoke point: reaching this temperature the oil support a thermal dissociation (and degradation) process: formation of glycerol and fatty acids, acrolein, etc. A great smoke point is a quality for an edible oil. Flash point: temperature of combustion; the flash point is of course greater than the smoke point.
What is the importance of flash point of oil?
The flash point can be used to determine the transportation and storage temperature requirements for lubricants.
What is the flashpoint of methane gas?
Ethanol: Flash point is 13 °CPropanol: Flash point is 22 °CHexanol: Flash point is 59 °CVegetable oil: Flash point is 327 °C
What is the specification of Intermediate Fuel Oil that is graded as 180 CST?
The CST (centistoke) is a measure of viscosity. IFO 180 fuel oil contains less than 3.5 percent sulfur with a flash point of greater than 60C. The pour point is at 30C maximum year round.
What is the flash point of tire pyrolysis oil?
55c
Why is class A winding insulation is only used in oil filled transformers?
This is because the oil has flash over point at 140 deg.Cl and the winding insulation cannot exceed the flash point of the oil.
Why fire point is higher than flash point?
because vehicle has oil
Is there a difference between heating oil and diesel?
There are different grades of diesel fuel and heating oil but in general they have similar qualities including the flash point. The flash point is the temperature at which the fuel ignites on its own, without a spark. Diesel fuel used to only be available along truck routes. Before diesel fuel became easily available everywhere, people with diesel engine cars would use heating fuel, but would have to make sure it is clean, passing it through a filter to remove foreign particles.
What burns longer diesel or oil?
Oil, it has a lower flash point and is less volatile.
What is diesel fuel?
Diesel fuel is the kind of fuel used by diesel engines. Its a combustible fuel refined from crude oil - just as is gasoline - but diesel has a much higher flash point than gasoline. Its grade is measured in cetane rather than octane
What is fuel oil?
A liquid petroleum product having a flash point above 37.8°C, used for heating in furnaces and engines. Normally kerosene and diesel, not gasoline.
