PREVENTION OF FIRE HAZARD TYPICAL SIGNS POSTED
Sources of Ignition How a fuel ignites depends on its physical properties. The properties of aviation and turbine fuels that relate to ease of ignition are flash points, flammability limits, vapor pressure, auto ignition, temperature, distillation range and electrostatic susceptibility.
