The range between the LEL and UEL is known as the flammable range for that gas or vapor. A Molar fraction in mol% of the single flammable gas. Class IB Flammable Liquid: Fl.P. Clear, colorless liquid with a weak, ethereal, vinous odor. below 73°F and BP at or above 100°F. CDC is not responsible for Section 508 compliance (accessibility) on other federal or private website. One hundred percent lower explosive limit (100% LEL) denotes an atmosphere in which gas is at its lower flammable limit.
Zero percent Lower Explosive Limit (0% LEL) denotes a combustible gas-free atmosphere. The relationship between percent LEL and percent by volume differs from gas to gas. For liquids, the LFL is typically close to the saturated vapor concentration at the flash point, however, due to differences in the liquid properties, the relationship of LFL to flash point (which is also dependent on the test apparatus) is not fixed and some spread in the data usually exists. Lower flammability limits for many organic materials are in the range of 10–50 g/m³, which …
For classification purposes this formula can also be used for mixtures of “diluted” flammable gases that means fuel gas-inert gas mixtures.

Ohridski, 1756 Sofia, Bulgaria E-mail: mariana_hristova@abv.bg ABSTRACT ˘ˇ ˘ ˆ The LFL decreases with increasing temperature; thus, a mixture that is below its LFL at a given temperature may be ignitable if heated sufficiently. To understand the difference between those two, please see below illustration. Explosion occur when three conditions are met: Fuel; Oxygen (air) Ignition source (spark or flame) Explosive limit is a necessary particular concentration of gas or vapor to support its combustion with air.Its term is divided into two, Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) and Upper Explosive Limit (UEL).
The flammability range is delineated by the upper and lower flammability limits.
