The temperature at which a pool of liquid will generate sufficient vapor to form an ignitable vapor/air mixture. The temperature at which a liquid will produce its lower explosive limit in air. Flash point describes one of several very specific...

The lowest temperature at which a liquid will give off sufficient vapour to ignite in the presence of a flame. The term is derived from the phenomenon in which such ignitions usually result in a violent and potentially explosive release of energy known...

The flash point of a flammable liquid is the lowest temperature at which it can form an ignitable mixture in air. At this temperature the vapor may cease to burn when the source of ignition is removed. A slightly higher temperature, the fire point, is...
