To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For in- stance, at ordinary temperatures 16% of carbonic oxide marks the low limit of explosibility; 14. 2% at 750 F. ; 9. 3% at 915 F. ; 7. 4% at 1, 110 F. Furthermore, a mixture non-explosive at low pressure becomes explosive at higher pressure. If, then, there be a source from which a combus- tible gas or vapor may be derived, the conditions of pressure and temperature which obtain in the air receiver are favorable to the formation of an explosive mixture with the air. And as shown above, th...e amount required is very small indeed. Now, combustible gases or vapors are evolved from all lubricating oils by heat. The lowest temperature at which they begin to come off is called the "flash point" of that oil. At a some- what higher temperature the gas or vapor will ignite; this is called the "burning point. " The flash point of kerosene is usually below 150 F. Ordinary lubricating oils flash at about 250 F. An average of determinations on 40 samples of heavy oils having average flash point of 360 F.
