flammfarlige

Flammfarlige is a Swedish term that translates to "flammable" or "combustible" in English. It describes substances or materials that can ignite and burn easily when exposed to an ignition source. This classification is important for safety regulations and handling procedures in various industries and everyday life.

Materials considered flammfarlige are categorized based on their flash point, which is the lowest temperature at which a liquid can form an ignitable mixture in air near its surface. Flammable liquids typically have a flash point below 37.8 degrees Celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit), while combustible liquids have a flash point at or above this temperature. Gases can also be flammfarlige if they mix with air in certain proportions and encounter an ignition source.

Proper storage, handling, and transportation of flammfarlige substances are crucial to prevent fires and explosions. This often involves using specialized containers, ensuring adequate ventilation, keeping them away from heat and open flames, and having appropriate fire suppression equipment readily available. Warning labels and safety data sheets are standard practices to inform individuals about the risks associated with these materials. The concept of flammfarlige is fundamental to fire safety and risk management.
