Study Notes
Flash Point and Safe Handling of Flammable Liquids
- Knowledge of the flash point is crucial for safe handling of flammable liquids because it determines the minimum temperature at which a liquid can form a flammable vapor-air mixture.
- A lower flash point indicates that a flammable liquid is more hazardous and can easily ignite, as it can vaporize and form an explosive mixture at a lower temperature.
Restrictions on Fuels due to Flash Point
- According to ship classification society rules, fuels with a flash point below 60°C are not permitted for use due to their high flammability risk.
