I am trying to find a flash point curve or TP curve for kerosene. Any help would be much appreciated.

Emily:

I'm not sure what you mean by TP of kerosene. Did you mean True Boiling Point (TBP)? In any event, try this website: http://www.etc-cte.ec.gc.ca/databases/OilProperties/Default.aspx <== click here

It has data on three different jet fuels, and jet fuels are mostly kerosene. Some of the three have flash point tabulations at various temperatures and at least one of them has a distillation curve.

Maybe those data will be of help.

TP is temperature pressure. Specifically, I'm trying to find something that correlates the boiling temperature to the fluid pressure.

Emily, a curve of boiling point temperature versus pressure is usually called a "vapor pressure curve". Table 7.1-2 in publication "AP-42, Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors" by the US EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) has the vapor pressure of jet kerosene at temperatures ranging from 40 °F to 100 °F. Here is the web site: http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/ap42/ch07/final/c07s01.pdf <== click here

I am removing this same question of yours from the Industrial Forum. In the future, please don't post the same question in both forums.

I am actually in the fired heater industry. Yesterday I was unable to post to the Industrial Forum, I don't know why, so I put my question on the Student Forum. Today I can post there, so I did.

I need information in the 480-500oF with 30-100psi range.

Is there a different online forum I might want to try? Maybe something more specific to my subject? So far this is the only good one I've found.
