Deck General USCG Q#4715 (Set 150)

The flash point of a product is 100°F. What can happen if it is heated above 110°F?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — It may burn and explode if an ignition source is present.

When a combustible liquid is heated above its flash point, it continuously generates flammable vapors. Introducing any ignition source when temperatures exceed this threshold creates an immediate fire and explosion hazard.
