flammable, inflammable, highly inflammable-exact meaning required.?

Answer 1

Inflammable means the same as flammable, 'liable to catch fire', 'easily ignited'. Because it is often taken to mean the opposite, it is best to avoid using it at all; in official use flammable and non-flammable are the preferred terms.

Answer 2

Flammability or Inflammability is the ease with which a substance will ignite, causing fire or combustion. Materials that will ignite at temperatures commonly encountered are considered flammable, with various specific definitions giving a temperature requirement. The flash point is the important characteristic. A volatile substance may have sufficient vapor pressure to form flammable (or even explosive) mixtures with air in temperatures as low as –10 °C, so that ignition can occur even without direct contact. Flash points below 100 °F (37.8 °C) are regulated in the United States by OSHA as potential workplace hazards. Examples of flammable liquids are gasoline, ethanol, and acetone. Diesel fuel is in one of the less heavily regulated flammability categories, and biodiesel is considered nonflammable or noninflammable with a flash point usually over 300 °F (150 °C) even though biodiesel will combust inside a diesel engine.

Answer 3

Flammable and Inflammable means same i.e. which can catch fire.
Highly Inflammable means which is more reactive towards fire than some other flammable substances.

Answer 4

flammable = can be burn when exposed to fire. (It takes some time and leavs residue as these are solid material)

Inflammable = catches fire by even spark. ( it takes less time for combustion and leavs no residue even some of the solids i.g. Kamphoor)

Highly Inflammable = catches fire by even spark or high temperature. ( these are petoleum products in liquid or gaseous state and these are completly combustible and leav no residues)

Answer 5

flammable; able to catch fire: readily capable of catching fire

inflammable; 1. easily set on fire: quickly and easily set on fire and burne.d
