flash point
punto de encendido | temperatura de combustión | punto de ignición | punto de destello - la menor temperatura a la que un líquido emite suficientes vapores inflamables para que se enciendan. The Flash Point of a chemical is the lowest temperature at which a flame will propagate through the vapour of a combustible material to the liquid surface. It is determined by the vapour pressure of the liquid, since only when a sufficiently high vapour concentration is reached, can it support combustion. It should be noted that the source of ignition need not be an open flame, but could equally be, for example, the surface of a hot plate, or a steam pipe
