WHAT DOES COMBUSTIBILITY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

combustibility

Combustibility

Combustibility is a measure of how easily a substance will set on fire, through fire or combustion. This is an important property to consider when a substance is used for construction or is being stored. It is also important in processes that produce combustible substances as a by-product. Special precautions are usually required for substances that are easily combustible. These measures may include installation of fire sprinklers or storage remote from possible sources of ignition. Substances with low combustibility may be selected for construction where the fire risk needs to be reduced.Like apartment buildings, houses,offices and so on. If combustible resources are used there is greater chance of fire accidents and deaths. Fire resistant substances are preferred for building materials and furnishings.

Definition of combustibility in the English dictionary

The first definition of combustibility in the dictionary is excitability; quick temper. Other definition of combustibility is tenseness; potential for trouble. Combustibility is also capacity for burning.
