Definition of Flammable
The flammable adjective is used to
describe what can be ignited in a simple way and that soon flames
off . Because of the risk of fire, flammable products should be
handled with caution.
It is called the flash point or ignition
pointto the combination of physical conditions that are required for a
substance to start burning when it is near a source of heat and then
retain the flame if the heat source is removed.
If the substance has a flash point with a low temperature,
it is classified as flammable.
In practice this means that flammable elements
catch fire with relative ease. There flammable
solids , flammable liquids and flammable gases that
are categorized differently depending on its flashpoint.
The fuels are substances that burn easily and are
flammable. When oxidized violently, a fuel releases energy that can be
used (for the operation of an engine, for example). Such combustion, of course, must be provoked voluntarily and
carried out in a controlled environment: otherwise, it would be an accident.
The timber is a solid fuel; that is, a
flammable solid. Many times it is used to light fires and
heat. However, as a flammable material, it sometimes burns accidentally or
spontaneously.
That's why you should be very careful in the forests, where
there are many trees that can burn. Nobody should light a fire in a wooded
area as it could lead to an uncontrolled fire .
