The following is according to my understanding.<\/p>\n
\nI mention, in my post from June 22, 2018,<\/a> the comparison between flash point and fire point. Fire point can be 5°C to 30°C above flash point in common cases.<\/p>\n \nIgnition point, also called auto-ignition point, is the temperature at which a substance will start to burn without any source of ignition.<\/p>\n \nTypically, the ignition point is much higher than the flash point. However, ignition point seems not to be predictable from flash point. For instance, diesel has a much higher flash point, at between 50°C and 100°C, than gasoline’s, which is around -43°C. Yet, diesel’s ignition point, around 210°C, is lower than gasoline’s, at 280°C.<\/p>\n \nSource:<\/p>\n \ncanadasafetytraining.com<\/a><\/p>\n fireandsafetycentre.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\nJack of Oracle Tutoring by Jack and Diane,<\/a> Campbell River, BC.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Self-tutoring about chemistry: the tutor mentions the terms flash point, fire point, and ignition point.
