What is the flash point of 92-octane gasoline?
1 Answers
92-octane gasoline has a flash point of -50 to -20°C. The "flash point" of gasoline refers to the temperature at which gasoline heated in a container causes a flash fire when exposed to a flame at the container's opening, but the fire extinguishes immediately afterward. The "ignition point" refers to the higher temperature at which continued heating causes not only a flash fire but sustained combustion. Among petroleum products, kerosene has a flash point above 40°C, diesel between 50-65°C, heavy oil between 80-120°C, and lubricating oil reaches around 300°C. Below is an introduction to 92-octane and 95-octane gasoline: 92-octane gasoline: 92-octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane. 95-octane gasoline: 95-octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. When the pistons move in the engine cylinders, gasoline and air mix and compress inside the cylinder. If the pressure is too high, knocking can occur.
