Ignition Component fuel moisture (FFM) which expresses the effective moisture content of the fine fuels. The closer the initial temperature of the fuel is to the ignition temperature, the more likely a fire will result when a firebrand in introduced into the fine fuel complex, since not a much energy is required to raise the fuel particle to its ignition temperature. Ignition Component The Ignition Component is a number which relates the probability that a fire will result if a firebrand is introduced into a fine fuel complex. The ignition component can range from 0 when conditions are cool and damp, to
Calculated Ignition Index and CCAI are calculated from the density and kinematic viscosity of the fuel. Formula for CII: Where: D = density at 15°C (kg/m³) V = viscosity (cST) T = viscosity temperature (°C) CII was designed to give out numbers in the same order as the cetane index for distillate fuels. Calculated Ignition Index The Calculated Ignition Index (CII) is an index of the ignition quality of residual fuel oil. The running of all internal combustion engines is dependent on the ignition quality of the fuel. For spark-ignition engines the fuel has an octane rating. For diesel engines it depends on
