🔍 Key Concepts

• Flash point vs fire point definitions in marine fire prevention • Difference between Fahrenheit temperature where vapor is first given off vs temperature where it will continue to burn • Meaning of an open‑cup tester when measuring flammable liquids

💭 Think About

• Which term is used when a liquid gives off enough vapor to momentarily ignite when exposed to a small flame, but may not continue to burn? • Which term describes the higher temperature at which the vapor continues burning after the ignition source is removed? • How does the phrase "open cup tester" help you decide between the terms that sound similar?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which term is defined in fire‑prevention texts as the lowest temperature at which a liquid gives off sufficient vapor to form an ignitable mixture with air in an open cup test • Check which other term refers to the temperature at which the liquid will sustain combustion after the ignition source is removed • Eliminate any terms that are not standard vocabulary in marine fire‑prevention or hazardous‑materials manuals
