From a mining source, i have found the LEL and MOC (flammability limits) of Petroleum at 1 atm, however, my goal is to generate a curve, with LEL as a function of pressure.

Does anybody know how LEL changes with pressure?

Thanks!

Pressure has little effect on the LFL except at very low pressures (<50 mm Hg absolute), where flames do not propagate.
