flash point: of a chemical - The lowest temperature at which a flame will propagate through the vapour of a combustible material to the liquid surface It is determined by the vapour pressure of the liquid, since only when a sufficiently high vapour concentration is reached, can it support combustion It should be noted that the source of ignition need not be an open flame, but could equally be, for example, the surface of a hot plate, or a steam pipe
