Flammable Range The FLAMMABLE RANGE is defined by the LFL (Lower Flammable Limit) and the UFL (Upper Flammable Limit).
Flammable Range LFL ---- UFL Note the LFL as an indicator of how small a release it will require to cause a fire or explosion hazard
Flammable Range LFL ---- UFL Note the spread between the LFL and UFL as an indicator of how large an area might be within the Flammable Range.

Flash Point The FLASH POINT is the temperature at which enough vapor is formed, above the surface of the liquid, to allow for a flash
Flash Point If you know the Flash Point, then you know the temperature at which you are threatened by the possibility of fire.
