between 126 - 204 deg F.
A low flash point in diesel is caused by contamination of the diesel with lighter petroleum products such as kerosene or gasoline. Drawing more lighter products out of the fractionation tower could reduce contamination of the heavier products. Improving fractionation and improving diesel product stripping performance will raise the flash point.
All fuel oils have a flash point of 490F (254C). Distillate fuels have lower flash points.
Flash point means nothing but the amount of heat it takes to make the Gasoline or Diesel combust
flash point of petrol is > -45 degree celsius flash point of diesel is 52-95 degree celsius
Petrol first. it has a lower flash point than diesel.
like for example if a diesel sample is contaminated by paraffin and the flash point is altered is the IBP also altered?
No, you can't. Diesel has much too high a flash point and won't ignite in a Zippo.
D2 Diesel flash point, 126 degrees F.D2 Diesel autoignition temp, 493 degrees F.
petrol has a lower flash point and is more volatile than diesel.
Diesel engines do not require "ignition" to burn diesel fuel--it is powered by the "heat of compression" therefore diesel fuel has a much higher "flash point" than gasoline. If you were to put gasoline in a diesel engine you would probably blow the heads off the engine. Due to lower "flash point" (temperature when fuel ignites). If you were to put diesel fuel in a gasoline powered engine, it would not ignite and engine will not start. Due to higher "flash point).
Oil, it has a lower flash point and is less volatile.
Diesel will not burn in a gas engine, flash point to low; it may clog things up but nothing permanent
