Flash Point (Auto Body)

Minimum liquid temperature at which a spark or flame causes an instantaneous flash/fire in the vapor space above the liquid.
Fluorescent lamps- Efficient, preferred lighting fixtures for shop and office settings that are manufactured in a variety of configurations (note- all contain small amounts of mercury).


Flash Point (Boiler)

The lowest temperature at which, under specified conditions, fuel oil gives off enough vapor to flash into a momentary flame when ignited.

Flash Point (Carpet)

The temperature at which a liquid will give off enough flammable vapor to ignite if an ignition source is present, although combustion will not be self supporting. There are several flash point test methods, and flash points may vary for the same material, depending on which method is used. The test method should be indicated when the flash point is given (e.g., 150 degrees f/71 degrees c PMCC, or 200 degrees f/93 degrees c TCC, etc.).

Flash Point (Construction)

The flash point of a liquid is the lowest temperature of the liquid at which it gives off vapor sufficient to form an ignitable mixture with the air near the surface of the liquid or within the vessel used.


Flash Point (Environment)

The lowest temperature at which evaporation of a substance produces sufficient vapor to form an ignitable mixture with air.


Flash Point (Explosives)

The lowest temperature at which vapors from a volatile combustible substance ignite in air when exposed to flame, as determined in an apparatus specifically designed for such testing.


Flash Point (Import Cars)

The lowest temperature at which a flammable liquid produces sufficient vapor to flash near its surface, but without continuing to burn.


Flash Point (Natural Gas)

The lowest temperature at which the vapors arising from a liquid surface can be ignited by an open flame.


Flash Point (Oil Acronyms)

The lowest temperature under very specific conditions at which a combustible liquid will give off sufficient vapor to form a flammable mixture with air in a standardized vessel. Assesses the volatility of the product.


Flash Point (Paint)

The lowest temperature at which the vapors of a liquid can catch fire.
