It is no longer used often because of its flammability.

Rather, he said, there should be a single national standard for flammability.

I thought I'd been successful, but there was the problem of it not meeting federal flammability standards.

A fire test can be conducted to determine the degree of flammability.

They have changed public wild lands in ways that increase their flammability.

But, the company said, that problem increases the part's flammability beyond the relevant standard.

It is considered dangerous because of both the flammability and the toxicity.

Flammability or inflammability means that something can be set on fire easily.

Superficially flammability seems to be a simple subject, but in practice it becomes quite involved.

Another problem is the flammability of the gas.

Some were, surprisingly given their flammability, stored next to a gas heater, museum officials said.

Now, he said, the Government and airlines will look for ways to reduce the flammability of vapor in the tanks.

The most hazardous property of acetone is its extreme flammability.

When used as a fuel, hydrogen has a wide range of flammability and low ignition energy.

Flammability is low in this stage as well.

Last year, California adopted tough standards for mattress flammability.

"That assumption of flammability has been successful but not successful enough," he said.

Well, flammability issues are always problematic when patents are being sought.

The first lifting gas used was hydrogen, although this had well-known concerns over its flammability.

Tin and Lead are low-melting metals with no flammability to speak of.

You can also try to research flammability and see what you can find.

Another downside of the mixture, as with most anaesthetics at the time, was its high flammability.

The ban remained however, so the engineers used only hydrogen despite its extreme flammability.

It is because of the plane's inflammability that we are very anxious to get several.

Flammability or inflammability means that something can be set on fire easily.

The molecules add strength and heat resistance, or reduce inflammability, when blended with other materials.

They observed the spontaneous inflammability.

Disadvantages include low phase-change enthalpy, low thermal conductivity, and inflammability.

For this reason, suppression capacitors must comply with the safety and inflammability requirements of international safety standards such as the following:

He described saltpeter saying "they use it to make a fire which rises and moves, thus increasing it in lightness and inflammability"

By the second week of October, the state was in a Class 4 state of danger, meaning: "high state of inflammability."

The table of inflammability limits in my CRC reference book says 2.5% to 80%.

For power line applications, special requirements are placed on the inflammability of the coating and the epoxy resin impregnating or coating the capacitor body.

Archaeologists who studied the sites have suggested that shamans may have burned the petrified wood to highlight its inflammability, which may have seemed supernatural.

He idly tested its inflammability, lighting one piece, planning to hold it until it burned down to his fingertips, to see if anything could hurt more than his stomach.

Razi's alchemy brings forward such empiric qualities as salinity and inflammability -the latter associated to 'oiliness' and 'sulphurousness'.

"Under ordinary circumstances, picrate of potash although not MORE inflam- mable than common powder, yet possesses the SAME degree of inflammability."

He also made valuable research into the limits of the inflammability of helium and hydrogen mixtures and carried out a number of experiments on the permeability of balloon fabric by helium.

Into our charmed circle, power cannot enter; and the sturdiest defender of existing institutions feels the terrific inflammability of this air which condenses heat in every corner that may restore to the elements the fabrics of ages.

Razi's own alchemical experiments suggested other qualities of matter, such as "oiliness" and "sulphurousness", or inflammability and salinity, which were not readily explained by the traditional fire, water, earth, and air division of elements.

Salt was the principle of fixity (non-action) and in-combustibility; mercury was the principle of fusibility (ability to melt and flow) and volatility; and sulfur was the principle of inflammability."

I especially remember, that a great deal of excellent inflammability was exhibited in a thin volume of poems by Ellery Channing; although, to speak the truth, there were certain portions that hissed and spluttered in a very disagreeable fashion.

As a result of a 28% loss ratio during Operation Varsity resulting from the C-46's high inflammability, IX TCC did not convert to the Commando, even though its cargo-carrying capacity was twice that of the C-47.

The language question has today lost its inflammability as Finnish has attained a dominant status, but there is still public debate about issues such as to what extent Swedish-majority administrative units should be kept separate and to what extent knowledge of Swedish should be a prerequisite for different positions.

He accordingly resolved to manufacture and employ pyroxyle, although it has some inconveniences, that is to say, a great inequality of effect, an excessive inflammability, since it takes fire at one hundred and seventy degrees instead of two hundred and forty, and lastly, an instantaneous deflagration which might damage the firearms.

Walled Nanci, which stands so bright and trim, with its straight streets, spacious squares, and Stanislaus' Architecture, on the fruitful alluvium of the Meurthe; so bright, amid the yellow cornfields in these Reaper-Months,--is inwardly but a den of discord, anxiety, inflammability, not far from exploding.
