A simple accurate model for prediction of flash point temperature of pure compounds

In this study, a simple three-parameter linear model is presented for estimation of flash point (FP) of pure compounds. The parameters of the model contain experimental normal boiling point of the compound and two chemical structure-based parameters. A comprehensive database of FPs containing 1472 pure compounds of various chemical structures was used to develop the model. The squared correlation coefficient and average absolute error of the model calculation results for all of the compounds presented in the database are evaluated to be 0.982 and 7.2?K, respectively.
