Petroleum products are classified based on Flash Point into following 4 categories:
[ Let's first understand the flash point. It is the minimum temperature at which the
liquid gives sufficient vapor that this vapor, when mixed with air, forms an ignitable
mixture and gives a momentary flash on application of a small pilot flame under
specified conditions of test. ]
Liquefied gases including LPG, do not fall under this classification but form a separate category.
These are guided by Gas Cylinder Rules 1981.
