    Fire Science is a life and property saving science. From Harappa civilization, human beings
    knows the science. Manmade hazards and its removal is written in vedic literature.

    The flammable (explosive) range is the range of a gas or vapor concentration that will burn or
    explode if an ignition source is introduced. Limiting concentrations are commonly called the
    lower explosive or flammable limit (LEL/LFL) and the upper explosive or flammable limit
    (UEL/UFL).

    Below the explosive or flammable limit the mixture is too lean (diluted) to burn. Above the upper
    explosive or flammable limit the mixture is too rich (saturated) to burn. The Auto-Ignition
    Temperature is not the same as Flash Point - The Flash Point indicates how easy a chemical may
    burn.
