RE: flammability limits fire

Have you tried a Flammable gas meter???  Or are you looking for a more theoretical answer of the chemical reaction that supports combustion??

RE: flammability limits fire

Perry's Chemical Engineering Handbook also lists flammability limits for numerous materials. Without finding handbook data for your situation the calculations are fairly rigorous and thermodynamic based.
