Flammable liquid Auto-ignition temperature

An entirely different diesel hazard is compression of a pocket of air and flammable vapor trapped in a vessel or pipeline by a column of liquid. If the pressure of the liquid rises, the air is compressed, and the heat developed may heat the vapor above its auto-ignition temperature [13]. 

The auto-ignition temperatures of various halogenated hydrocarbons in presence of chlorine are considerably below the corresponding values in air. Examples are (in °C) chloromethane 215 (618 in air) dichloromethane 262 (556) 1,2-dichloropro-pane 180 (555°C). Flammability limits are usually wider in chlorine than in air. Gaseous mixtures of chloromethane and chlorine are detonable in the range 12.5— 55% [1]. Liquid mixtures of dichloromethane and chlorine may well also be detonable [2].
