The FR (flammable range) of gasoline is 1.4% LEL (lower exposive limit) to 7.6 UEL (upper exposive limit). Below 1.4% the gasoline vapor is said to be too lean and above 7.6% and the vapor is too rich. In either case gasoline will not burn if it is not in the FR.

What flammable gas is found underground?
carbon dioxide and water vapor
Is diesel flammable?
Actually, Diesel is not flammable, it is combustible. The difference is the flash point. Diesel does not flash until 143 degrees Fahrenheit. Anything between 100 and 200 is combustible; less than 100 is flammable. Compare it to "gasoline" which has a flash point of -42 F (I think).
How does temperature affect vapor pressure?
Vapor pressure increases with temperature. As the temperature increases ,molecules of liquid find it easier to escape.
What do you call the temperature at which water vapor occurs because of cooling?
I believe you mean the temperature at which water vapor condenses due to cooling. This is the dew point temperature.
What is a dry vapor?
A substance that is in the gas phase at a temperature at which it would normally be a solid or liquid
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 gasoline a liquid or a vapor form?
Gasoline is a liquid, gas is a vapor.
How many cubic feet of fuel vapor do you get when you boil 1 gallon of gasoline?
There is no definite answer unless you designate the temperature and of the gasoline since gas expands as temperature increases. I just don't want to be around when you are boiling gasoline.
How many cu ft of vapor in 1 cu ft of liquid gasoline?
The answer will depend on the pressure and temperature.
What is the Reid vapour pressure of gasoline?
Reid vapor pressure (RVP) of gasoline is the vapor pressure at 100°F.
What has to happen for a gas or vapor to be flammable or an explosion hazard?
For a gas or vapor to be flammable or an explosion hazard it must have a concentration in air between the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) and the Upper Explosive Limit (UEL) for that particular gas or vapor.
What is the source of gasoline that cars run on?
The source is Crude oil. Gasoline is extracted by heating cude oil and collecting the vapor at a specific temperature. The condensate is gasoline. The process is known as 'Cracking' and may have other chemicals added, to make the process more efficient.
What temperature does gasoline turn into a vapor?
interesting question. I assume you are not a scientist so I'll try to make this simple. Water can exist as a vapor at 32.0001 degrees F. This is the triple point of water at atmospheric pressure. Gasoline, with its hi volatility will start a car well below zer0. Since I don't know the exact temperatue, I'm going to guess that gasoline can turn into a vapor at temperature as low as -60 F. Of course it will vaporize much quicker at reasonable temperature, but it will vaporize (and start a car) at extremely low temp. all materials have properties that include a melting point, vapor point, flash point, burn point and a triple point, which is the temperature that a material can exist in all 3 states. (solid, liquid, and gas)
What flammable gas is found underground?
carbon dioxide and water vapor
How would you define a 'flammable material'?
4.1
At what Temperature does gasoline evaporate?
In theory, any liquid will evaporate to some extent at any normal Temperature. Evaporation rate for any fluid is, for all practical purposes, determined by only two factors ... the Vapor Pressure of the fluid at the ambient Temperature, and the Degree of Saturation of atmosphere into which it is evaporating.In short, the Higher the Temperature of the Gasoline, the faster it will evaporate from an open container.
Is water vapor and hydorgen the some?
No, water vapor is still H2O, a compound of hydrogen an oxygen. Hydrogen gas is H2, and element with very different chemical and physical properties, chief among them being that hydrogen is highly flammable.
