Only the Wiki article on 'Fahrenheit 451' makes this statement. If you look at the article on 'autoignition temperatures' on Wiki it agrees with the 451F figure - and cites it sources.
Paper burns at around 451 degrees Fahrenheit (233 degrees Celsius). This is known as the autoignition temperature, which is the temperature at which paper will ignite without needing an external flame. The exact temperature can vary depending on the type of paper and its thickness. It is important to note that paper can also smolder and char at lower temperatures before reaching its autoignition point.
Celsius 233. Or was that in BTU's.....
I don't know how "terrible" it is, but the title is inaccurate. It refers to the temperature that Bradbury asserted to be the autoignition temperature of paper. (In reality, scientists place the autoignition temperature of paper anywhere from high 440 degrees Fahrenheit to some 30 degrees hotter, depending on the study and type of paper.)
Paper does not melt. Perhaps you mean the autoignition temperature or kindling point of paper? That is 450 degrees F, see related questions below.
The autoignition temperature of paper is also known as the kindling point and sometimes referred to improperly as the flash point. It is the temperature at which paper will spontaneously combust.Some texts will give a variety of temperatures for this value because even at this temperature it may take different lengths of time for the paper to ignite depending on several factors including the amount of oxygen in the air and the elevation at which the paper is burned.Trivia: Ray Bradbury wrote a novel entitled Fahrenheit 451 - referring to be the ignition point of paper.The ignition point of paper is 233oc / 451oF
No, as in the popular old book "Fahrenheit 451", the ignition temperature of plain paper as you might see in a text book is 451 degrees Fahrenheit.
The ideal sealing temperature for paper cups is typically around 160-180 degrees Celsius. It is important to ensure that the temperature is carefully controlled to achieve a secure seal without damaging the paper cup or its contents.
Paper typically burns at temperatures between 440 to 470 degrees Celsius (824 to 878 degrees Fahrenheit). However, this can vary depending on factors such as the type of paper and the presence of other materials.
Paper. (I remember that from Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451")
The answer is the title of a Ray Bradbury short novel: Fahrenheit 451
Paper burns at around 450 degrees Fahrenheit, but the exact temperature can vary depending on factors like humidity and the type of paper. It's important to exercise caution when burning paper to prevent the fire from spreading.
34.5 degrees Celsius = 94.1 degrees Fahrenheit, so, never! Paper ignites at about 451 degrees Fahrenheit and does not spontaneously go through combustion.
