Flammability Research

Many manufacturing processes involve flammable chemicals, therefore flash points and flammability limits are essential to maximize safety in process design and operational procedures. Most of the available flammability information applies to atmospheric conditions and primarily to pure fluids, for liquid mixtures containing both flammable and nonflammable constituents, the precise level of risk is more difficult to predict. There are few experimental data, and existing models and methods are inadequate for precise determination of flammability limits in mixtures with constituents other than air and one or more flammable constituents.
