"flammable range": The range between the upper and lower explosive limits of a flammable vapor or gas.  2, record 1, English, - flammability%20range

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 1, English, - flammability%20range

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 1, English, - flammability%20range

Le mélange de la substance dans l'air est inflammable à une concentration inférieure ou égale à 13% en volume, ou l'étendue de la zone d'inflammabilité de la substance est plus grande que 12% quelle que soit la limite inférieure.

To estimate the vapour concentrations downwind of an accident site for determination of the flammability or toxicity hazard zone, the atmospheric dispersion of a contaminant vapour is modelled as a "puff" or "plume" according to the decision tree given in Figure 3. A gas leak form a tank is considered a semi-continuous point source, modelling as a plume, whereas the release of a large amount of gas over a very short time period of the order of seconds to minutes is considered an instantaneous point source modelled as a puff.  1, record 2, English, - flammability%20hazard%20zone
