Flashpoint |
||||||
|
Flashpoint is the lowest temperature at which a liquid gives off enough vapor
to form an ignitable mixture with air and produce a flame when an ignition source is
present. If the ambient temperature is right, then the materials may give off enough vapor
at its surface to allow ignition by an open flame or spark. When a vapor does ignite, combustion can continue as long as the temperature remains at or above the flashpoint. |
