The ability to effect ignition or set on fire.
1919Jrnl. Chem. Soc. CXV. 103 These results clearly establish the fact that the incendivity of a spark does not depend on the total energy of the spark. 1972Physics Bull. Aug. 454/3 Later laboratory measurements..of the incendivity of spark discharges showed that if the uniform field strength in a tank roof space away from any protrusions was 500 kV m-1, then brush discharges having sufficient energy to ignite an inflammable hydrocarbon-air mixture could occur at metal protrusions.
Hence (as a back-formation) inˈcendive a., of or pertaining to incendivity; capable of effecting ignition.
1959Rep. Investigations U.S. Bureau of Mines No. 5463. 19 Chemical composition alone is not sufficient to define the incendive character of an explosive. 1972Physics Bull. Aug. 456/1 Differences between the incendive properties of metal to metal sparks and liquid to metal sparks. 1973Ibid. Mar. 145/3 It draws attention to the risks of incendive sparks at or near deck openings resulting from static electricity. |
