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
Is mineral oil flammable?
Mineral Oil has a flash point of 170C (335F), and a boiling point of 310C (590F). By definition, "Flammable liquid" means any liquid having a flashpoint below 100 deg. F. Therefore, Mineral Oil is not a flammable liquid, however it is a Class IIIB Combustible Liquid, meaning that it will burn, but must be exposed to high heat before it will sustain a flame.
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 are examples of flammable liquids?
gasolinekerosinefuel oilbunker fuel oildiesel oilcetanehexaneheptaneoctanenonanemolten asphaltetc.Technically, anything with a closed-cup flash point at or above 100 degrees F would be classified as a "combustible liquid" not "flammable liquid". This would include diesel and fuel oil. NFPA 30.
What is the auto-ignition temperature of the flammable mixture?
It is normally referred to as the 'flash point'.
When is an unlisted liquid flammable solvent classified as HW?
Flash point of 21 C or below
What Is the flash point of ammonia?
Flash point for ammonia is the point where it becomes flammable after a phase change from a liquid to gas forming a flammable mixture in air. Obviously this is different to the lowest flammable concentration in air. In the case of ammonia it is 11 degrees according to the MSDS: http://msds.chem.ox.ac.uk/AM/ammonia_anhydrous.html
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.
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 the flash point of salt?
Salt is not flammable.
What is the flash point of xenon?
Xenon is not flammable.
Which flammable gas has a flash point of 98 degrees Fahrenheit?

What is the flash point of sodium hypochlorite?
Sodium hypochlorite is not flammable.
What are flammable materials.?
what is a flashpoint <><><> The temperature at which a substance gives off an ignitable vapor is the flash point. If the flash point is under 100 degrees F, it is a flammable (gasoline). If it is over 100, it is a combustible (diesel fuel). Flash point is NOT the ignition temperature.
Is antifreeze very flammable?
Antifreeze is Highly Flammable! But its flash point is around 240 degrees Fahrenheit.
