If a mixture containing air and a concentration of flammable vapor, is capable of ignition when exposed to a spark or other source of ignition, it is said to be __________.
• Flammable range and what it means for a vapor–air mixture • Difference between too rich / too lean mixtures and ignitable mixtures • Meaning of auto-ignition temperature versus ignition from a spark
• Ask yourself: when is a vapor–air mixture actually able to burn or explode if a spark is introduced—what term describes that condition? • Which option describes a range of concentrations, and which describe a single point or limit? • Which choice refers to temperature conditions versus concentration conditions?
• Verify which term refers to a concentration range between the lower and upper explosive limits where ignition is possible. • Check that auto ignition point involves no external spark or flame—only temperature. • Confirm that a mixture above the upper explosive limit is generally too rich to ignite under normal conditions.
