What is Flash point?
The '''flash point''' of a [[volatility (chemistry)|volatile]] substance is the lowest [[temperature]] at which it can become [[vapor]], mix with [[air]], and burn. The flash point describes liquid [[fuel]]. It helps to tell about the danger of fire from liquids. “Flash point” can describe both [[Flammability|flammable]] liquids and [[Combustion|combustible]] liquids. == Measurement == Several national and international committees and [[organization]]s decide how everyone should measure the flash point. The three main groups that decide this [[standard]] for measurement are the CEN / ISO Joint Working Group on Flash Point (JWG-FP), ASTM D02.8B Flammability Section, and the Energy Institute's TMS SC-B-4 Flammability Panel. The standard for testing the temperature of the flash point tells the equipment, units of measure, the steps to follow, and the [[precision]] of the test method. {{sci-stub}} [[Category:Chemistry]] [[Category:Fire]]
