Combustion characteristics flash point

The combustion characteristics of liquid fuels are similarly determined by measures of their ability to sustain a flame. Two measures of the combustion characteristics of liquid fuels especially related to safety are flash point and autoignition temperature. The flash point is the maximum temperature at which a liquid fuel can be maintained in an open vessel exposed to air before which it will sustain a flame... [Pg.273]

Flash point is considered to be an important specification for all finished fuels and oils. The flammability and combustibility characteristics of a material are directly related to the flash point. Also, fuel transportation codes require flammable compounds to be appropriately labeled for safety reasons. [Pg.130]

The above-mentioned alcohols are by far the most common. Butyl alcohol is not as commonly used as die first four in die series, but it is used. Secondary butyl alcohol and tertiary butyl alcohol, so named because of the type of carbon atom in the molecule to which the hydroxyl radical is attached, must be mentioned because they are flammable liquids, while isobutyl alcohol has a flash point of 100°F. All of the alcohols of the first four carbon atoms in the alkanes, therefore, are extremely hazardous because of their combustion characteristics. [Pg.167]
