Could someone explain the flash point in simple terms?
Baidu Baike: The flash point, also known as ignition point, is the lowest temperature at which a mixture of oil and air comes into contact with a flame, resulting in ignition and immediate combustion. It indicates the evaporation tendency of the oil and its stability when heated. It is an important indicator for safety protection during fuel storage, transportation, and use. Fuel with a high flash point is less likely to catch fire and cause an explosion ； Care must be taken to ensure safety when storing and transporting fuels with a low flash point. Put simply, it is the ignition temperature of a mixture of flammable gas and air.
