Evaluation of the Burning Characteristics of Vegetable Oils in Comparison with Fuel and Lubricating Oils
Source abstract
Abstract
Burning characteristics of vegetable oils, lubricating oils and fuel oils were obtained by experiments using 90 mm diameter stainless steel pans. In comparison with these burning characteristics, it was found that the flame height and flame radiation and burning rate of vegetable oils were larger than those that were expected from their flash points. Consequently, it was found that once a fire occurs, the danger of its propagation was similar to that of some lubricating oils and C-fuel oil.
