Abstract
The lower flash points for two binary systems (water+acetic acid and water +propionic acid) containing non-flammable component were measured by Pensky-Martens closed cup tester. The experimental data were compared with the values calculated by the Van Laar and Wilson equations. Good qualitative agreement was obtained with these equations. However, the calculated values based on the Wilson equation were found to be better than those based on the Van Laar equation.
