Flash point is an indicator of the volatility of oil products. Below are the relevant introductions: 1. Oil products: The lighter the fraction of the oil product, the greater its volatility, and the lower its flash point. Conversely, the heavier the fraction of the oil product, the smaller its volatility, and the higher its flash point. 2. Flash point: Flash point is also an indicator of the fire hazard of petroleum products. The danger level of oil products is classified according to the flash point. Those with a flash point below 45°C are flammable, while those above 45°C are combustible. During the storage and transportation of oil products, it is strictly prohibited to heat the oil to its flash point temperature. For the same viscosity, the higher the flash point, the better.
