Fire point

The fire point, or combustion point, of a fuel is the lowest temperature at which the liquid fuel will continue to burn for at least five seconds after ignition by an open flame of standard dimension.^[1] At the flash point, a lower temperature, a substance will ignite briefly, but vapour might not be produced at a rate to sustain the fire. Most tables of material properties will only list material flash points. In general, the fire point can be assumed to be about 10 °C higher than the flash point,^[2] although this is no substitute for testing if the fire point is safety critical.^[2]

Testing of the fire point is done by open cup apparatus.^[2]^[3]
