1. Influence of product properties on ignition probability

Not all products have the same propensity to ignite. Among the intrinsic properties of products, there are three to be aware of:

  • flash point (FP) ;

  • minimum ignition energy (MIE);

  • minimum ignition temperature (TAI).

1.1 What is the flash point?

The PE corresponds to the temperature at which a liquid gives off enough vapors to form a flammable mixture with air, which can be ignited by a flame or spark of sufficient energy. PE is used to characterize the flammability of flammable liquids. The lower the PE of a product, the more flammable it is.
