BFM202 unit 9 – lab – Pensky Martens Flash Point Test

Flash point varies significantly between fuels. The flash point differences between diesel fuels and gasoline are key factors in the function of a compression ignition engine versus a spark ignition engine.

The flashpoint is the minimum temperature at which there is a sufficient concentration of evaporated fuel vapor for combustion to propagate after an ignition source (spark or flame) has been introduced.
