Flashpoint definition

Flashpoint means the minimum temperature at which a liquid gives off a vapor in sufficient concentration to ignite when tested as follows:
Flashpoint means the minimum liquid temperature at which a spark or flame causes an instantaneous flash in the vapour space above the liquid;
Flashpoint means a flashpoint determined by a test using the closed-cup apparatus referenced in the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code.

Examples of Flashpoint in a sentence

  • High Flashpoint SolventsWaste solvents with a high flashpoint are not typically hazardous and can be recycled, unless the solvent is tested for pH and toxicity and is determined to be hazardous waste.

  • Flashpoint: 2°C c.c. Explosive limits: 3% to 16% Miscible withwater.When involved in a fire, evolves toxic cyanide fumes.

  • Flashpoint: Prefer products that have a high flashpoint compared to those with a low flashpoint.

  • Flashpoint: 12°C c.c. Explosive limits: 6% to 36.5% Miscible withwater.Toxic if swallowed; may cause blindness.

  • PHYSICAL, CHEMICAL AND TECHNICAL PROPERTIES 3.1. Appearance (physical state, colour) 3.2. Explosive properties 3.3. Oxidising properties 3.4.

More Definitions of Flashpoint

Flashpoint means the minimum temperature at which a liquid gives off vapor within a test vessel in sufficient concentration to form an ignitable mixture with air near the surface of the liquid, and shall be determined as follows:
Flashpoint means the temperature in degrees Celsius (closed cup test) at which a product will give off enough flammable vapour to be ignited, as determined by an approved flashpoint apparatus;
Flashpoint means the lowest temperature in °C at which a liquid will produce enough vapour to ignite, if the vapour is flammable. For a specific definition for the purposes of classifying substances, reference should be made to the ADG Code1. Flashpoint is established by closed or open cup methods. The lower the flashpoint, the higher the risk of fire.
Flashpoint means the lowest temperature at which a liquid gives off sufficient gas to form a flammable gas mixture near the surface of the liquid;
Flashpoint means the minimum temperature at which a liquid gives off a vapor in sufficient con- centration to ignite when tested as follows:
Flashpoint means the lowest temperature of a flammable liquid at which its vapour forms an ignitable mixture with air as determined by the closed-cup method; (point de fusion)
Flashpoint means the lowest temperature of a product at standard conditions at which the product's vapors will ignite momentarily when subjected to a flame. Flashpoint temperatures shall be determined pursuant to the procedures set forth in 16 C.F.R.§1500.43a or successor regulations.
