    This document provides a summary of fire hazard properties for over 1,500 flammable liquids, gases, and volatile solids. It includes key data like flash point, boiling point, autoignition temperature, and NFPA 704 hazard ratings. The document is intended as a general reference for basic fire protection properties and aims to be conservative where data sources differ. Further testing is recommended if specific material properties are questioned.

    Guide to

    Fire Hazard Properties of Flammable Liquids,


    Gases, and Volatile Solids
    1994 Edition

    This edition of NFPA 325, Guide to Fire Hazard Properties of Flammable Liquids, Gases,
    and Volatile Solids, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Classification and Prop-
    erties of Hazardous Chemical Data and acted on by the National Fire Protection Associ-
    ation, Inc. at its Annual Meeting held May 16-18, 1994, in San Francisco, CA. It was
    issued by the Standards Council on July 14, 1994, with an effective date of August 5,
    1994, and supersedes all previous editions.

    The 1994 edition of this document has been approved by the American National
    Standards Institute.

    Changes other than editorial are indicated by a vertical rule in the margin of the pages
    on which they appear. These lines are included as an aid to the user in identifying
    changes from the previous edition.

    Origin and Development of NFPA 325


    The first edition of NFPA 325,325M, was presented to theAssociation in 1930. Suc-
    cessively revised and enlarged editions were published in 1935, 1941, 1945, 1947, 1951,
    1954, 1960, 1965, 1969, 1977, and 1984.

    This 1994 edition is an amended version of the 1991 edition. The hazard identification
    ratings of NFPA 704, Standard System for the Identifcation of the Fire Hazards of Moterials, have
    been updated to be consistent with changes made to chemicals listed in NFPA 49, Hazardous
    Chemicals Data.These are indicated by a vertical rule in the left-hand margin.

    This document is not a code, standard, or recommended practice, as these terms are
    defined by NFPA. It is only a compilation of basic fire protection properties of various
    materials, prefaced by an explanation of the properties covered. The data contained
    have been collected from numerous authoritative sources, including the U.S. Bureau of
    Mines, Factory Mutual Research Corporation, and Underwriters Laboratories Inc., as
    well as from the manufacturers of the materials. The originating source of the data is on
    file at NFPA headquarters and may be obtained upon request.

    _
    The table presented here summarizes available data on the fire hazard properties of
    about 1,500 substances, listed alphabetically by their chemical name. In addition, about
    500 synonyms are listed alphabetically and cross-referenced to their proper enrries.

    Ther,,alu.es for any given property are representative and deemed suitable for general
    use. Where diflerences exist in reference sources, the value selected for inclusion in this
    compilation is conservative. Slight differences are to be expected between data sources,
    due to differences in the purity of test samples, minor differences in rest apparatus, and
    minor differences in technique and observation. In almost all cases, these minor varia-
    tions.have little practical significance. Where there is difference of opinion as ro the
    actual value of a property of a given material or where the validity of the data presented
    is questioned, further tests should then be conducted on representative samples of the
    specific material in question by a qualified resring laboratory.
