The potential for encountering hazardous flash fire conditions in fire experiments can be estimated by a simple calculation. The limiting conditions for safe operation is: C (h sup c) < -1.8 kJ/1 where C is the fuel load in grams per liter and h sup c is the gross heat of combustion of the fuel. The critical fuel load is small compared to that likely to be encountered in a real fire situation so the possibility of a flash fire under ventilation limited conditions must always be considered.
