Definitions of flash point:

• The flash point is the lowest temperature at which a liquid or solid gives off enough vapour to form a flammable air-vapour mixture near its surface. The lower the flash point, the greater the fire hazard. The flash point is an approximate value and should not be taken as a sharp dividing line between safe and hazardous conditions. The flash point is determined by a variety of test methods which give different results. Two types of methods are abbreviated as OC (open cup) and CC (closed cup).

• Temperature at which volatile compounds from heated oil will ignite when brought into contact with a flame, but will not continue to burn when the flame is removed.

• The lowest temperature at which a good produces enough vapour to form a flammable mixture with air.

• The lowest temperature at which a liquid will generate sufficient vapor to flash (ignite) when exposed to a source of ignition.

• The lowest temperature at which a liquid generates enough vapor to ignite in air. If a waste has a flash point of less than 140° F, then it is an ignitable hazardous waste.

• The critical temperature at which a material will ignite.

• The temperature to which a combustible liquid must be heated to give off sufficient vapour to form momentarily a flammable mixture with air when a small flame is applied under specified conditions.

• The lowest temperature at which the vapors of a liquid can catch fire.

• the temperature at which a liquid gives off vapor sufficient to form an ignitable mixture with air near the surface of the liquid or within the vessel.

• The lowest temperature at which, under specified conditions, fuel oil gives off enough vapor to flash into a momentary flame when ignited.
  www.cleaver-brooks.com/GlossFP.html
• The temperature at which a substance gives off a sufficient amount of vapors to form an ignitable mixture with air. Products with a low flash point (below 100° F) should not be used in the presence of (or near) fire, flame, sparks or high heat, ie, a lit cigarette or automobile trunks. The flash point of a product can be found in the MSDS.

• The temperature at which a coating or solvent produces vapors that are capable of being ignited when exposed to a spark or flame.
  www.generalpaint.com/glossary2.html
• The temperature at which a combustible liquid gives off just enough vapor to produce a vapor/air mixture that will ignite when a flame is applied. The flash point is measured in a standardized apparatus using standard test methods, such as ASTM D93 or ISO 2719.

• Temperature at which an inflammable liquid produces a vapor which, when mixed with air, becomes an explosive mixture.

• the lowest temperature at which a chemical vapor will light on fire.
  www.afscme.org/health/safe16.htm
• the lowest temperature at which a flammable liquid will produce a combustible vapor that will burn in the presence of a flame, under certain prescribed conditions of test.

• The temperature at which a liquid or volatile solid gives off vapor sufficient to form an ignitable mixture with the air near the surface of the liquid or within the test vessel. There are two methods used for testing flash points; open cup and closed cup. The open cup method more nearly approximates actual conditions.

• also flash·point (fl sh point ) n. The lowest temperature at which the vapor of a combustible liquid can be made to ignite momentarily in air. The point at which eruption into significant action, creation, or violence occurs: “The shootdown did not increase international tensions to the flash point” (Seymour M. Hersh).

• Temperature at which there is enough vapor of a chemical to ignite if a spark is present.

• The lowest temperature at which the vapor of a substance will catch on fire, even momentarily, if heat is applied. Provides an indication of how flammable a substance is.
  www.autobodypro.com/safety/msds/terms.htm
• The lowest temperature of a liquid at which it gives off sufficient vapor to form an ignitable mixture when mixed with air and brought into contact with an open flame or spark.
  www.etfinancial.com/coatingsgloss.htm
• The lowest temperature at which a flame will propagate through the vapour of a combustible material
  www.edp-uk.com/glossaries/terms.htm
• The temperature at which a pool of liquid will generate sufficient vapours to form an ignitable vapour/air mixture. The temperature at which a liquid will produce its lower explosive limit in air. Flash point describes one of several specific laboratory tests. Frequently materials can be made to burn below their flash point if increased surface area or mechanical activity raise the concentration of vapour in air above the lower explosive limit.
  www.fire.org.uk/glossary.htm
• Is the minimum temperature of a petroleum product, or other combustible fluid, at which vapor is produced at a rate sufficient to yield a combustible mixture. This is usually considered to be the lowest temperature at which the air vapor mixture will ‘flash' in the presence of an ignition source (small flame).

• the temperature at which something ignites

• the lowest temperature at which the vapor of a combustible liquid can be ignited in air

• The flash point of a fuel is the lowest temperature at which it can form an ignitable mix with air. At this temperature the vapor may cease to burn when the source of ignition is removed. A slightly higher temperature, the fire point, is defined at which the vapor continues to burn after being ignited. Neither of these parameters is related to the temperatures of the ignition source or of the burning fuel, which are much higher.
