Vapors
Vapors
- Gaseous state of substances that are either liquids or solids at room temperatures
- Gasoline evaporates
- Dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) sublimates
Vaporization is a function of temperature
- Increasing the temperature of the combustible liquid increases the amount of vapor produced
Flashpoint
- Temperature at which a combustible liquid gives off enough vapor to form an ignitable mixture
Flashpoints Vary
| Common Flashpoints (degrees F) | |
| Gasoline (aviation grade) | - 50 (approx.) |
| Acetone | 0 |
| Methyl ethyl ketone | 24 |
| Ethanol (96 %) | 62 |
| Diesel oil | 100-190 |
Flammable and combustible liquid classifications (OSHA 29 CFR 1910.106)
