What is the flash point and fire point of diesl and kerosene?
The flash point of diesel is typically around 52-96°C (126-205°F), while kerosene has a flash point of around 37-65°C (100-150°F). The fire point for diesel is usually higher than its flash point, around 52-96°C (126-205°F), while for kerosene, it is around 46-74°C (115-165°F).
What is the flash point difference between diesel and gasoline?
The flash point difference between diesel and gasoline is that diesel has a higher flash point than gasoline. Diesel typically has a flash point of around 125-180 degrees Celsius, while gasoline has a flash point of around -40 to -60 degrees Celsius.
Which catches fire more quickly petrol or diesel?
petrol has a lower flash point and is more volatile than diesel.
Why petrol does not catch fire in summer even when its flash point is 44 celsius and temperature of atmosphere is 50 Celsius?
The flash point of petrol represents the temperature at which it can ignite when exposed to an open flame. However, for petrol to combust, it must also be in the presence of oxygen and have an ignition source. In summer, the atmosphere temperature being higher than the flash point of petrol alone is not sufficient to cause it to catch fire without these additional factors.
What is the difference between ignition temperature and flash point, and how do they affect the safety of a substance?
Ignition temperature is the minimum temperature at which a substance will ignite and sustain combustion, while flash point is the temperature at which a substance will produce enough vapor to ignite in the presence of an ignition source. Ignition temperature is higher than flash point. Knowing these values helps determine the potential fire hazard of a substance and allows for proper safety measures to be implemented to prevent fires and explosions.
What is the difference between flammable and combustible material?
A flammable material has a lower flash point (100F or below) while a combustible material has a flash point of 100F or HIGHER. In other words, it's a lot easier for a flammable material to catch fire than a combustible one because of the minimal amount of energy (heat) required to get it going versus the higher requirement of a combustible material.
What is the best fuel to burn?
to this day diesel is the "best" to burn it has a higher flash point than gasoline so it burns hotter and better
What happens if boiling point is higher than melting point?
The boiling point is always higher than the melting point.
Do liquid flammables ignite more easily than combustibles?
In common usage flammable liquids are the same as combustible liquids in terms of their ability to catch fire. However, in the technical usage of hazardous materials transportation and of fire prevention, a combustible liquid has a higher flash point than a flammable liquid and is therefore less easily ignited. So, yes, flammable liquids ignite more easily than do combustible liquids.
Do liquid flammables ignite more easily than liqiad combustibles?

So, yes, flammable liquids ignite more easily than do combustible liquids.
Why does a diesel engine use a different type of fuel?
Diesel engines do not require "ignition" to burn diesel fuel--it is powered by the "heat of compression" therefore diesel fuel has a much higher "flash point" than gasoline. If you were to put gasoline in a diesel engine you would probably blow the heads off the engine. Due to lower "flash point" (temperature when fuel ignites). If you were to put diesel fuel in a gasoline powered engine, it would not ignite and engine will not start. Due to higher "flash point).
What is the flammability of a substance?
Flammability refers to how easily a substance can catch fire or ignite when exposed to heat, sparks, or flames. It is an important safety consideration in handling and storing chemicals, with flammable substances posing a higher fire risk than non-flammable ones. Flammability is typically indicated by a material's flash point, autoignition temperature, and flammable range.
