Hi,I would like to know about the AIT (autoignition temperature) of heavy cracked hydrocarbons (from a thermal conversion like Visbreaking resid). I was looking for in the NFPA 325 but I have a doubt. I think that the AIT of the Visbraking resid is less thatn the AIT of vacuum or atmospheric resid.
Does anyone know what is the AIT typical for the visbreaking resid?

Regards
