Fire point

The fire point of a fuel is the temperature at which the vapour produced by that given fuel will continue to burn for at least 5 seconds after ignition by an open flame. At the flash point, a lower temperature, a substance will ignite briefly, but vapor might not be produced at a rate to sustain the fire. Most tables of material properties will only list material flash points, but in general the fire points can be assumed to be about 10 °C higher than the flash points. However, this is no substitute for testing if the fire point is safety critical. It is done by open cup apparatus.

    Ashes To Ashes

    by: Warpaint

    Do you remember a guy that's been
    In such an early song
    I've heard a rumour from Ground Control
    Oh no, don't say it's true
    They got a message from the Action Man
    I'm happy, hope you're happy too
    I've loved all I've needed love
    Sordid details following"
    The shrieking of nothing is killing
    Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and
    I ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
    And I'd quit but the planet it's glowing
    {Refrain:}
    Ashes to ashes, fun to funky
    We know Major Tom's a junkie
    Strung out in heaven's high
    Hitting an all-time low
    Time and again I tell myself
    I'll stay clean tonight
    But the little green wheels are following me
    Oh no, not again
    I'm stuck with a valuable friend
    I'm happy, hope you're happy too
    One flash of light but no smoking pistol
    I've never done good things
    I've never done bad things
    I've never done anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh
    I want an axe to break the ice
    I wanna come down right now
    {au Refrain}
    My mama said to get things done
    You'd better not mess with Major Tom
    My mama said to get things done
    You'd better not mess with Major Tom
    My mama said to get things done
    You'd better not mess with Major Tom
    My mama said to get things done
