HOW HOT CAN FIRE GET? | SKYSAVER RESCUE BACKPACKS

They provide a great deal of information on fires, geared toward helping firemen determine the causes of fires. In answer to the OP’s question about the temperature of a burning match, refer to Table 1.1 below, “SOURCES OF IGNITION – GENERAL TEMPERATURE“. In that table, “MATCH” is listed at between 600°C – 800°C.

Conventional domestic flames for heat and light tend to reach between about 800°C and 1000°C. Acetylene burned in oxygen can get to almost 3500°C thanks to the concentration of very active electrons that holds its carbon triple bond together.

The temperature of a burning match is between 600 to 800 degrees Celsius (or 1112 to 1472 degrees fahrenheit) depending on the chemicals of the match head.

The head of safety matches are made of an oxidizing agent such as potassium chlorate, mixed with sulfur, fillers and glass powder. The side of the box contains red phosphorus, binder and powdered glass. The sulfur catches fire and ignites the wood.

Match heads often contain potassium chloride, which can be used as a salt substitute. It can drastically improve the taste of bad coffee. Other substances in the match heads can help prevent bug bites, calm oversensitive teeth, etc.

John Walker

Phosphorus necrosis of the jaw, commonly called ‘phossy jaw’, was a really horrible disease and overwhelmingly a disease of the poor. Workers in match factories developed unbearable abscesses in their mouths, leading to facial disfigurement and sometimes fatal brain damage.

Horace Mann

A British pharmacist named John Walker invented the match by accident on this day in 1826, according to Today in Science History.

Historically, the term match referred to lengths of cord (later cambric) impregnated with chemicals, and allowed to burn continuously. But, when friction matches became commonplace, they became the main object meant by the term. The word “match” derives from Old French “mèche” referring to the wick of a candle.

Redheads is an Australian brand of matches, originally manufactured by Bryant and May in Richmond, Victoria, but now manufactured in Sweden by Swedish Match. It is Australia’s top-selling match brand. Redheads were first produced by Bryant & May in Australia in 1909.

The Diamond Match Company operated plants at Barberton, Ohio; Wilmington, Delaware (now located in the East Brandywine Historic District); Barber, California (later Chico); Springfield, Massachusetts and Cloquet, Minnesota.

Wood is cut, into small matches, soaked in fire retardant ammonium phosphate and left to dry. Striking end of the stick is then soaked in hot paraffin wax, which will provide small amount of fuel to the wood, enabling it to burn more easily.

It’s likely that no town in America has made more matches than Cloquet, Minnesota. No, they don’t fix up couples on blind dates, they manufacture wooden matches people use to light candles, campfires, and cigars.

There are three common methods for protecting your matches against water: turpentine, nail polish, and candle wax. When matches are soaked in turpentine and then left to dry, the resin impregnates the wood and makes it impervious to water.

Heating Elements. If you don’t have matches, the next best thing is to use the heating elements in your house. The most convenient thing will be to use a stove burner, but you could also use your oven, toaster or space heater. Turn on the burner and wait until it gets red.
