There is a column that says "flammalble" of liquid term on API 610 data sheets. What liquids are applied to a flammable liquid?
And when desiging a pump that handles the liquid, what should be checked?

thanks in advance.

My understanding is that is what API610 is all about - handling flammable liquids. My suggestion is get hold of the specification and have a read.

Will it burn?

A flammable liquid is one with a flashpoint less than 100F and has several subclassifications.

A combustible liquid is one with a flash point greater than 100F and also has several different classifications.

These temperatures are from NFPA and OSHA. NPFA 30 and 33 and OSHA 1910.106 would be some references you might want to review.
