température d'auto-inflammation

OBS: ignition : État des corps en combustion vive, se manifestant par un dégagement de lumière (langue soutenue).
OBS: autoallumage : Cette graphie, puisée des Rectifications de l'orthographe recommandées par le Conseil supérieur de la langue française, est attestée dans le Petit Robert (2004).

CONT: The auto-ignition temperature is the lowest temperature at which a material begins to burn in air in the absence of a spark or flame. Many chemicals will decompose (break down) when heated. The auto-ignition temperature is the temperature at which the chemicals formed by decomposition begin to burn. Auto-ignition temperatures for a specific material can vary by one hundred degrees Celsius or more, depending on the test method used.
OBS: self-ignition temperature; autoignition temperature; autogenous ignition temperature; auto-ignition temperature; spontaneous ignition temperature: terms standardized by ISO.
