The standard, "Flammability Characteristics of Combustible Gases and Vapors," provides a comprehensive overview of the flammability properties of various combustible gases and vapors. It includes limit of flammability, autoignition, and burning-rate data for more than 200 substances. This data is useful for understanding the potential fire and explosion hazards associated with these substances.

In addition to presenting specific data for known substances, the standard also provides empirical rules and graphs that can be used to predict similar flammability characteristics for thousands of other combustible gases and vapors. This allows for a broader understanding of the potential hazards in different environmental conditions.

The substances covered in the standard include hydrocarbons (paraffinic, unsaturated, aromatic, and alicyclic), alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, sulfur compounds, and various fuels, fuel blends, hydraulic fluids, and engine oils. This wide range of substances ensures that the standard is applicable to various industries and contexts.
