Although not entirely non-combustible, the gas [anhydrous ammonia] has such an unusual flammability range that the danger of fire is remote and the gas is not considered "Flammable" under the Regulations. 3, record 3, English, - flammability%20range
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 CONT
The limits of flammability .... For examples, hydrogen-air mixtures will propagate flames for concentrations between 4 and 74 percent by volume of hydrogen at 70 °F and atmospheric pressure. The smaller value is the lower (lean) limit, and the larger value is the upper (rich) limit of flammability. When the mixture temperature is increased, the flammability range widens; when the temperature is decreased, the range narrows.... 4, record 3, English, - flammability%20range
