ABSTRACT

The effect of methylene chloride on the flash point and the flammability limits of acetone in air has been determined. A mixture of ten parts by volume of methylene chloride and one part of acetone was non-flammable, according to the flash point test, but the flammable limit measurements showed that if the liquid evaporated completely a flammable mixture could be produced.
