Lower flammability limit LFL , usually expressed in volume per cent, is the lower end of the concentration range of a flammable solvent at a given temperature and pressure for which air vapor mixtures can ignite. The flammability range is delineated by the upper and lower flammability limit. Outside this range of air vapor mixtures, the mixture will not ignite unless heated . The LFL decreases with increasing temperature thus, a mixture that is below its LFL at a given temperature may ignite if heated sufficiently. The LFL is typically close to the saturated vapor concentration at the flash point , however, due to differences in technique between measuring LFL and the various flash points open closed cup as well as different apparatus some spread in the data usually exists.

Combustibility is a measure of how easily a substance will set on fire, through fire or combustion . This is an important property to consider when a substance is used for construction or is being stored. Special precautions are usually required for substances that are easily combustible. These measures may include installation of fire sprinkler s or storage remote to possible sources of ignition. Substances with low combustibility may be selected for construction where the fire risk needs to be reduced. Fire resistance rating Fire resistant substances are preferred for building materials and furnishings.

UL 94 is a plastics flammability standardization standard released by Underwriters Laboratories of the USA . The standard classifies plastics according to how they burn in various orientations and thicknesses. From lowest least flame retardant to highest most flame retardant , the classifications are HB slow burning on a horizontal specimen burning rate 76 mm min for thickness 3 mm. V2 burning stops within 30 seconds on a vertical specimen drips of flaming particles are allowed. V1 burning stops within 30 seconds on a vertical specimen drips of particles allowed as long as they are not inflamed. V0 burning stops within 10 seconds on a vertical specimen drips of particles allowed as long as they are not inflamed. 5VB burning stops within 60 seconds on a vertical specimen no drips allowed plaque specimens may develop a hole. 5VA burning stops within 60 seconds on a vertical specimen no drips allowed plaque specimens may not develop a hole Tests are generally conducted on a 5 x 1 2 12.7 cm x 1.27 cm specimen of the minimum approved thickness. For 5VA and 5VB ratings, tests are performed on both bar and plaque specimens, and the flame ignition source is approximately five times as severe as that used for testing the other materials. There are other classifications that apply to low density foam materials HF 1, HF 2, HBF and thin films VTM 0, VTM 1, VTM 2 .

Viviani s theorem , named after Vincenzo Viviani , states that the sum of the distances from any interior point to the sides of an equilateral triangle equals the length of the triangle s Altitude triangle altitude . ref name ref1 http arxiv.org abs 0903.0753v3 Elias Abboud On Viviani s Theorem and its Extensions pp. 2, 11 ref Proof This proof depends on the readily proved proposition that the area of a triangle is half its base times its height that is, half the product of one side with the altitude from that side. Let ABC be an equilateral triangle whose height is h and whose side is s . Let P be any point inside the triangle, and x, y, z the distances of P from the sides. Draw a line from P to each of A, B, and C, forming three triangles PAB, PBC, and PCA. Now, the areas of these triangles are sx 2, sy 2, and sz 2. They exactly fill the enclosing triangle, so the sum of these areas is equal to the area of the enclosing triangle. So we can write sx 2 sy 2 sz 2 sh 2 and thus x y z h. Q.E.D.

Icky pick or icky pic is a name for a gelatinous substance contained within outdoor rated communications cables, including both twisted pair copper cabling and fiber optic cabling. PIC is the abbreviation for Plastic Insulated Cable. The cable is filled with an icky substance. The filled cable itself, therefore, is called an Icky PIC . Icky pick has two primary functions Prevent water from entering the cable, causing corrosion and damage from freeze expansion Deter animals from biting and damaging the cable due to the taste of the gel Icky pick is a very thick petroleum based substance with very high flammability, and consequently is only rated for outdoor use, frequently direct buried in the ground. An outdoor cable spliced onto an indoor terminal block is prone to leak the gelatin which is a fire hazard. The thick gelatin stains clothing and hands and is very difficult to remove. When fiber optic cables are to be spliced, the gelatin must be removed with solvents and swabs to prevent fouling of the splice.

Synonyms include hepar sulfuris , liver of sulfur , sulfurated potash and sulfurated potassa . Liver of sulfur is mainly used in metalworking to form a patina , turning copper alloys brown or black. Typically liver of sulfur comes in a dry rock form which must be broken into smaller pieces and dissolved in hot water for use. Lump form The drawbacks to liver of sulfur in dry form are the following Shelf Life Lump form liver of sulfur has a very short shelf life. Flammability Lump form liver of sulfur is considered a flammable solid. Inhalation hazard Lump form liver of sulfur can cause an inhalation hazard due to the dust created by handling it or breaking the larger chunks into smaller pieces. Gel form Liver of sulfur is also available in a gel form. The primary benefit of the gel form being the reduced potential for harm as an inhalant. Medical use Liver of sulfur was once used in pharmaceutical preparations such as white lotion. At one time sulfurated potash was used to combat arthritis .

This definition is used by the National Fire Protection Association , The United States Department of Transportation US Department of Transportation , the United States Environmental Protection Agency US Environmental Protection Agency , the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration and others. These categories are further subdivided, depending on the liquid s flash point and boiling point . Class IA flammable liquids have a flash point below 73 F the upper end of the common range of room temperature and a boiling point below 100 F Class IB flammable liquids have a flash point below 73 F and a boiling point greater than or equal to 100 F Class IC flammable liquids have a flash point greater than or equal to 73 F and below 100 F Class II combustible liquids have a flash point greater than or equal to 100 F and below 140 F Class IIIA combustible liquids have a flash point greater than or equal to 140 F and below 200 F Class IIIB combustible liquids have a flash point greater than or equal to 200 F Examples of flammable liquids Flammable liquids include, but are not limited to class wikitable sortable Common name CAS Number Flash point Class Autoignition Temperature Acetone 67 64 1 convert 17 C F abbr on IB convert 465 C F abbr on Biodiesel n a mixture convert 130 C F abbr on IIIB Dimethyl ether 115 10 6 convert 41 C F abbr on IA convert 235 C F abbr on Diesel fuel Diesel n a mixture convert 62 C F abbr on IIIA convert 210 C F abbr on Ethanol 64 17 5 convert 12.8 C F abbr on IB ...
