1.
Flash point of a liquid is the lowest temperature at which it gives off enough vapour to
form an ignitable mixture with air.
2.
Flammable Stock
Combustible Stock
3.
What is the cut off point between a flammable liquid and a combustible liquid as
defined by the NFPA standards?
Flammable Stock
Combustible Stock
Flash points below 100F (38C) and a Flash points at or above 100F (38C).
vapour pressure below 40 psi.
4.
What is the difference between the terms lower explosive limit (LEL) and lower
flammable limit (LFL)?
There is no difference between the terms LEL and LFL. These two terms convey the
same meaning.
5.
A material whose flash point is 212F (100C) is being stored at 203F (95C). Is this
treated as a flammable or combustible material under ExxonMobil practices?
6.
There is a correlation of flash point with upper flammable limit (UFL) by means of
the vapour pressure curve.
False. The correlation is between flash point and lower flammability limit (LFL).
7.
False. The surface temperature of the pipe should be at least 220F (105C) higher
than the A.I.T. for an ignition source.
8.
9.
False. Deflagration is an explosion in which the reaction front moves at a speed less
than the speed of sound in the unreacted medium (sub-sonic velocities). Detonation is
an explosion in which the reaction front moves at a speed greater than the speed of
sound in the unreacted medium (supersonic velocities).
10.
True. The rate of pressure increase indicate the flame front propagation rate and thus
the magnitude of explosion.
11.
Stoichiometric mixtures generally require higher ignition energies than other mixtures
within the flammable range.
False. Stoichiometric mixtures require lower ignition energies than other mixtures
within the flammable range.
12.
The only factors that determine the strength of a vapour cloud explosion are the type
of molecule and the amount released.
False. The other factors that determine the strength of a vapor cloud explosions are
confinement, weather, and source consideration.
13.
False. The Multi-Energy Method (MEM) has been developed, which is an alternative
to the TNT model and is considered to be more accurate.
