autoignitiontemperaturen
Autoignition temperature refers to the lowest temperature at which a material will ignite spontaneously in air without an external ignition source, under specified testing conditions. It is commonly abbreviated as AIT and used to describe the propensity of a substance to self-ignite when heated.
AIT depends on several factors, including the chemical composition and physical form of the material, as well
The concept is distinct from the flash point, which is the lowest temperature at which enough vapor
Measurement of AIT is typically performed using standardized tests that gradually heat a sample in air and
AIT is used in safety engineering and risk assessment to classify materials, design storage and processing
