A study has been made of inflammibilty characteristics of suspensions
in air of mists derived from oils of low volatility, particularly
cutting oils not of the 'soluble' type. With mists formed by condensation
from a saturated vapour/air mixture the lower limit of flammability
on a weight basis is of the same order as expected for the corresponding
vapour. The inflammable range, however, seems less for the mist than
for the vapour, which is probably associated with the observation
actually made that the mist flame is the more easily suppressed by
the addition of a particular diluent to the air supporting combustion.
The effect of incombustible liquids added to the oil drops was studied
in mists mechanically formed at an air jet. The results can be interpreted
qualitatively in terms of the thermal capacity of the added liquid
and the flame suppressing effect of its vapour.
