Ignitation Temperature ➡️ Ignition temperature definition is - the lowest temperature at which a combustible substance when heated
Fire point ➡️ The fire point of a fuel is the lowest temperature at which the vapour of that fuel will continue to burn for at least 5 seconds after ignition by an open flame
Hope this helps you ☺️☺️❤️❤️✌️✌️

Fire Point Definition
Fire point is the lowest temperature where the vapor of a liquid will initiate and sustain a combustion reaction. By definition, the fuel must continue to burn for at least 5 seconds following ignition by an open flame for the temperature to be considered the fire point.
Fire Point vs Flash Point
Contrast this with the flash point, which is a lower temperature at which a substance will ignite, but may not continue to burn.
The fire point for a specific fuel is not typically listed, while flash point tables are readily available. Generally, the fire point is about 10 C higher than the flash point, but if the value must be known, it should be determined experimentally.
