Flash Point:
In the presence of an ignitable source, this is the lowest temperature at which a volatile flammable substance’s vapour may ignite in the air. More vapour may not be created quickly enough to continue burning at the flash point. The flash point of a liquid is used to determine how volatile it is.
Fire Point:
After the vapours have been ignited and the ignition source removed, this is the lowest temperature at which a volatile flammable material continues to burn in air.
