Anything that will ignite easily and burn rapidly The National Fire Protection Association and the Department of Transportation (DOT) define flammable liquids as those having a flash point less than 100 F and a vapor pressure of not over 40 psia at 100 F
Flammable chemicals, gases, cloth, or other things catch fire and burn easily. flammable liquids such as petrol or paraffin. = inflammable. something that is flammable burns easily inflammable, nonflammable nonflammable (flammare )
Describes any solid, liquid, vapor, or gas that ignites easily and burns rapidly
Burns easily Paint, thinners and other solvents, and auto products are the most flammable home products Look for words on the product label like: "Do not use near heat or flame " "Combustible " "Do not smoke while using this product "
Catches on fire easily and burns rapidly The National Fire Protection Agency and the U S Department of Transporation define a flammable liquid as having a flash point below lOO0F (37 80C) Same as Inflammable
Defined by DOT and NFPA as a liquid with a flash point below 100 degrees F Flammable liquids are
A liquid as defined by NFPD and DOT as having a flash point below 37 8°C (100°F)
Describes any solid, liquid, vapor, or gas that will ignite easily and burn rapidly A flammable liquid is defined by NFPA and DOT as a liquid with a flash point below 100oF (37 8oC)
Any substance easily ignited in the presence of a flame; any liquid having a flash point below 100° F (37 8° C)
A liquid with a flash point below 37 8 degrees C (100 degrees F) or solids that will ignite readily or are liable to cause fires under ordinary conditions through friction or retained heat
the ease with which a liquid, solid, or gas will ignite, either spontaneously (pyrophoric) or as the result of a spark or open flame The more flammable a material, the more readily ignition occurs
This property describes how fast a plastic material will burn when subjected to a particular ASTM test In this test, a flame is applied to one end of a strip of material When the material starts burning the flame is removed and the time to consume a given amount of material is measured Units - inches per minute (in/min ) Higher numbers indicate that the material will burn faster under conditions of this particular test S E means self extinguishing If a material is classified as S E , the specimen stops burning when the flame is taken away
Term used by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc in their UL recognition program to indicate the potential of a component to ignite or burn Gap size - The distance between the inner edges of two mating surfaces (e g , the distance between door's and cabinet's edges)
The relative burnability of the material in a specified situation Meanings vary according to test methods used (ASTM D1692-61; ASTM E84-61; ASTM E162-60T)
[ 'fla-m&-b&l ] (adjective.) 1813. From Latin inflammare ‘to set on fire’ + the suffix -able via English inflammable. The in- prefix is dropped to avoid confusion with non-flammable.
