What does the flash point of gas mean?
When gas flashes it should be arrested for indecent exposure. This happened to me once. It was a nasty point of my life. The above answer is silly! The flash point of a volatile liquid is the lowest temperature at which it can vaporize to form an ignitable mixture in air. Measuring a liquid's flash point requires an ignition source. At the flash point, the vapor may cease to burn when the source of ignition is removed. The flash point is not to be confused with the autoignition temperature, which does not require an ignition source.
What is the flash point of gunpowder explosive?
A "flash point" is the temperature at which a LIQUID gives off a vapor that can be ignited. It is NOT the temperature at which ignition takes place. Gunpowder, being a solid, does not HAVE a flash point. It has an ignition temperature around 450 degrees F, but the exact temperature varies with the composition of the gunpowder.
What is the definition for flash point and smoke point?
In a Nut ShellFor any flammable liquid, its vapor pressure maximizes with increase in temperature.Flash point is the lowest point at which the vapors of a liquid ignite but stops on removal of an ignition source.Fire Point or ignition point is basically a point above the flash point at which burning will continue on removal of the ignition source
What is the auto-ignition temperature of the flammable mixture?
It is normally referred to as the 'flash point'.
What is the relation between point and line?
walang relation
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.
What does the term flash point mean in relation to deep frying mediums?
the oil in the deepfryer is about to ignite or explode
What is the ignition point of petrol?
It has a flash point of about -50° F (-65° C)(lowest temp ignitable). The ignition temperature is about 495° or autoignition which it can go off without external spark source.
Explain the difference between flash point and fire point?
Flash point is the temperature at which a flash will occur across the face of a liquid and go out. Fire point is the temperature at which a flash will occur above the liquid and the resultant fire will continue to burn.
What is the flash point and autoignition temp of kerosene?
The flash point of kerosenes is between 35 0C and 65 0C. The autoignition point of kerosenes is 220 0C.
What is significance of flash point?
The flash point of a flammable liquid is the lowest temperature at which it can form an ignitable mixture in air. At this temperature the vapor may cease to burn when the source of ignition is removed. A slightly higher temperature, the fire point, is defined as the temperature at which the vapor continues to burn after being ignited. Neither of these parameters is related to the temperatures of the ignition source or of the burning liquid, which are much higher. The flash point is often used as one descriptive characteristic of liquid fuel, but it is also used to describe liquids that are not used intentionally as fuels
Relation between Dew point temperature and pressure?
There is none.
