The article contains the results of experimental tests on the explosive limits of methanol, ethanol and 1-butanol vapours at 40, 60, 80, 100 and 120 °C. The tests were conducted in accordance with method B of PN-EN 1839 standard. Additionally, the article presents an overview of the current knowledge regarding methods for determining the explosive limits for the safe transport and storage of flammable liquids.
