The lowest temperature of a substance at which sustained combustion can be initiated.
In the combustion of gases, the temperature at which the heat loss due to conduction, radiation, etc., is more than counterbalanced by the rate at which heat is developed by the combustion reaction.
Temperature at which the vapors emitted from a material will ignite either without exposure to a flame (self-ignition) or when a flame is introduced (flash ignition).
Lowest temperature of a fuel at which combustion becomes self-sustaining.
The minimum temperature to which a fuel must be heated in order to initiate of cause self sustained combustion independent of another heat source.
The minimum temperature to initiate or cause self-sustained combustion in the absence of any source of ignition.
The lowest temperature at which a combustible material will ignite in air and continue to burn independently of the heat source.
This is the minimum temperature that a fuel/air mixture must reach in-order to have a self-sustained combustion without any other external heat source.
The lowest temperature at which a substance will catch on fire and continue to burn.
the temperature, which a substance must be raised to, for it to ignite
the minimum temperature to which a solid, liquid, or gas must be heated in order to initiate or cause self-sustained combustion independent of the heating element.
Minimum temperature a substance must attain in order to ignite under specific test conditions. Reported values are obtained under specific test conditions and may not reflect a measurement at the substance's surface. Ignition by application of a pilot flame above the heated surface is referred to as pilot ignition temperature. Ignition without a pilot energy source has been referred to as auto-ignition temperature, self-ignition temperature, or spontaneous ignition temperature. The ignition temperature determined in a standard test is normally lower than the ignition temperature in an actual fire scenario.
Lowest temperature at which a substance will catch fire and continue to burn. The lower the ignition temperature, the more likely the substance is going to be a fire hazard.
The minimum temperature at which a material will combust.
Ignition Temperature is the minimum temperature necessary to initiate combustion (oxidation) and have self-sustained combustion of the solid, liquid, gas, or vapor of interest.
The minimum temperature at which ignition can take place and sustained combustion can occur. Synonym - Kindling Point.
the minimum temperature that a liquid must be raised to initiate or cause self-sustained combustion.
The minimum temperature to which a material must be raised before it will burn. The ignition temperature is higher than the flashpoint.
The temperature at which a substance, such as gas, will ignite and continue burning with adequate air supply.
the temperature required to initiate combustion.
The lowest temperature at which a fuel when heated will ignite in air and continue to burn; the temperature required to cause ignition of a substance. See burning point. The minimum temperature in degrees F or degrees C required igniting gas or vapor without a spark or flame being present. Values provided in reference texts are only approximate because they change in geometry, gas, or vapor concentrations and in the presence of catalysts. The temperature at which a fuel or substance ignites and the flame is self-propagating. The minimum temperature at which a material will ignite without a spark or flame being present. This is also the temperature the ignition source must be.
