What are some things that are flammable?

Answer 1

Many substances can catch fire....however, when the word 'flammable' is used - it is to highlight to an unsuspecting person that certain invisible vapour can also burn.....like petrol or gasoline vapours.....
Many organic volatile liquids can also catch fire: like pure alcohol or liquids that contain more than 40 % alcohol as in cognac.
Beer which contains a maximum of 8% alcohol in not flammable. However when one distil the alcohol over.......the colourless distillate will catch fire when it comes into contact with a naked flame! I have personally done this experiment.

Answer 3

Items include gasoline, propane, natural gas. It does not include most textiles or wood.

The term flammable has specific definitions. Most of the things people named were either combustable or nothing. Flammable is defined by USEPA and USDOT/OSHA.

USEPA uses two - easily ignitable or having a flash point less than 140F. The <140F is the most commonly sited, but the term ignitable is used.

USDOT/OSHA - uses 100F and 140F depending on the regulation.

Answer 4

Hydrocarbons, paper, wood, most cloths, ... anything that burns. However, when ignited, all FLAMMABLE substances give of a vapour, it is ONLY its vapour that burns.

I repeat, ANYTHING THAT WILL BURN IS A FLAMMABLE SUBSTANCE BUT, ONLY THE VAPOUR WILL BURN.
