AB - Simple data correlation of flashpoint data of binary mixture has been  developed on a basic of rational reciprocal function. The new approximation  requires has only two coefficients and needs the flashpoint temperature of  the pure flammable component to be known. The approximation has been tested  by literature data concerning aqueous-alcohol solution and compared to  calculations performed by several thermodynamic models predicting flashpoint  temperatures. The suggested approximation provides accuracy comparable and to  some extent better than that of the thermodynamic methods.
