test Flashcards
is the lowest temperature at which a solvent can form an ignitable mixture in air
near the surface of the liquid
flash point
hydrocarbon liquid is the higher temperature at which the oil
vapors will continue to burn when ignited.
fire point
lower temperature, a substance will ignite briefly, but vapour might not be
produced at a rate to sustain the fire
flash point
The flash and fire point of the oil samples determined by using open cup flash point testing ( T or F)
