What is the flash point of gasoline?
1 Answers
Gasoline has a flash point of ±46°C, while diesel has a flash point of 55°C under normal pressure. The flash point is the lowest temperature at which a flammable substance can ignite (instantaneous combustion). At the flash point temperature, only the mixture of liquid vapor and air can burn, not the liquid itself. This is because the liquid evaporates relatively slowly at the flash point temperature. Relevant information about gasoline is as follows: 1. Introduction: Gasoline is a volatile and flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid obtained from petroleum through distillation and cracking, which can be used as fuel. It appears as a transparent liquid, is flammable, and has a distillation range of 30°C to 220°C. 2. Important characteristics: The key properties of gasoline include volatility, stability, anti-knock quality, corrosiveness, and cleanliness.
