Regarding the definition of Class B fluids in GB50316
Thread Content
Class B fluids in 50316: In this specification, these refer to fluids that are gases or liquids that can vaporize to form gases under environmental or operational conditions; such fluids are capable of being ignited and burning continuously in air. How should we understand the phrase \"liquids that can vaporize to produce gas under environmental or operational conditions\" in the red-texted part? According to this definition, for example, ethanol at an operating temperature of 20°C and a pressure of 0.1 MPa does not produce any gas under either environmental or operational conditions; doesn’t such ethanol belong to Category B fluids?
Ethanol evaporates in an atmosphere at 20°C, so why is no gas produced?
Volatile gases and gases produced by flashing are not the same thing, right? All liquids volatilize; in that case, there’s no need to include the restriction of \"gases produced by flashing\" in the definition

I have the same question. By a literal interpretation, are all non-toxic, flammable fluids classified as Class B fluids?
