Which classification is given to flammable liquids with a flash point between 73°F and 100°F?

Flammable liquids with a flash point between 73°F and 100°F are classified as Class I C liquids. This classification is part of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) definitions, where flammable liquids are divided into various classes based on their flash points.

Class I liquids are those that can ignite at relatively low temperatures, and the specific breakdown is as follows: Class I A includes liquids with a flash point below 73°F, Class I B includes those with a flash point below 73°F but that are more volatile. Class I C is specifically designated for liquids that fall in the range of 73°F to 100°F, reflecting their potential for ignition due to their relatively low flash points.

This classification is crucial for understanding fire hazards and for implementing appropriate safety measures in environments that handle these substances. Class II includes liquids with flash points from 100°F to 140°F, while Class III encompasses liquids with flash points above 140°F. Knowing these distinctions helps fire inspectors and safety personnel assess the risks associated with different types of liquids in various settings.
