What is meant by lower flammable limit (LFL)?

What will be an ideal response?


The LFL is the minimum concentration in ppm of flammable liquid vapor in air that will support the propagation of flame upon contact with an ignition source. A liquid vapor / air mixture can be too lean (not enough – low ppm) to burn below the LFL, or too rich (too much – high ppm) to burn above the upper flammable limit
