Ignition Temperature 01
Ignition Temperature 01 : Ignition temperature is generally defined as that point of minimum temperature to which a solid, liquid, or gaseous substance must be heated to initiate or cause self-continuing combustion, independent of the heating or igniting source. Experience and tests have shown that ignition temperatures may vary with change in conditions and environment and listed ignition temperatures should be considered as only approximations. For example, ignition temperatures of flammable liquids and vapors may vary depending upon vapor or air-gas mixture, size and shape of the contained environment, and other chemical and physical factors. This is why there is some variance in reported ignition temperatures by different laboratories. The ignition temperature of combustible solids may be reasonably influenced by the rate of airflow, rate of heating, surface conditions, and size of the particular solid
