Fire hazard analysis of alcohol aqueous solution and Chinese liquor based on flash point

Abstract

In this paper, a series of experiments were conducted to study the flash point of alcohol aqueous solution and Chinese liquor. The fire hazard of the experimental results was analysed based on the standard GB50160-2008 of China. The result shows open-cup method doesn’t suit to alcohol aqueous solution. On the other hand, the closed-cup method shows good applicability. There is a non-linear relationship between closed-cup flash point and alcohol volume concentration. And the prediction equation established in this paper shows good fitting to the flash point and fire hazard classification of Chinese liquor.
