A flammability diagram is a graph that shows the conditions under which a substance can ignite and burn. It is also known as a flammability triangle or explosion triangle.
The area within the triangle represents the conditions under which a fire or explosion can occur.
Flammability diagrams are used in the shipping industry to assess the potential hazards and to help design safe handling and storage procedures. By understanding the conditions that can cause a substance to ignite and burn, seafarers can take steps to minimize the risks and prevent accidents.
