A liquid, as listed on a Safety Data Sheet (SDS), having a flash point below 100°F (37.78°C) is called a/an __________.
• Flash point definition and why it matters for fire risk • Difference between flammable and combustible liquids in U.S. safety standards • How Safety Data Sheets (SDS) classify liquids based on flash point
• Think about which term is used for liquids that can give off enough vapor to ignite at relatively low temperatures • Ask yourself: in standard safety terminology, which word is used for liquids that ignite more easily: flammable or combustible? • Consider whether "viscous" and "explosive" describe ignition temperature, or some other property of a liquid
• Verify which category is defined by a flash point below 100°F (37.78°C) in OSHA or NFPA style classifications • Eliminate any choices that do not refer specifically to ignition or fire behavior • Check that the correct term is commonly seen on SDS labels and container markings for low-flash-point liquids
