Fire hazard rating of gasoline
Thread Content
According to the provisions in the Code for Fire Protection Design of Petrochemical Enterprises, the fire hazard classification for gasoline is at least Class A-B; Class A requires a vapor pressure of >0.1 MPa at 15°C. I’m not sure whether gasoline meets this requirement, so I’d like to ask everyone for their advice.
Gasoline has a low flash point, but it should be classified as a flammable liquid rather than a liquefied hydrocarbon. Liquefied hydrocarbons can also be considered flammable liquids. The specific flash point data is not available, but it clearly does not meet the criteria for Class A; otherwise, relevant regulations would not classify it as a flammable liquid but rather as a liquefied hydrocarbon.
