70% to pass

A petroleum liquid has a flash point of 135°Fahrenheit. This liquid is classed as a grade _______________.

A B flammable liquid
B C flammable liquid
C D combustible liquid
D E combustible liquid
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) D combustible liquid. According to the US Coast Guard regulations, a liquid with a flash point of 135°F is classified as a "D combustible liquid". Combustible liquids have a flash point at or above 100°F, but below 200°F. Since the given flash point of 135°F falls within this range, it meets the criteria for a D combustible liquid. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) B flammable liquids have a flash point below 100°F, and B) C flammable liquids have a flash point at or above 100°F but below 140°F, which does not match the given flash point of 135°F. D) E combustible liquids have a flash point at or above 200°F, which is higher than the 135°F flash point provided.
