LIQUID BOILING POINTS

Boiling point is a critical factor in fluid handling and process design, influencing equipment selection, material compatibility, and system safety. Understanding the temperature at which a liquid changes to vapor helps ensure stable operation and energy efficiency. This table provides typical boiling points for a range of common liquids used in food processing, manufacturing, and industrial applications.

Boiling point data is essential when designing fluid handling systems involving heating, cooling, or evaporation. It determines the temperature limits for pumps, seals, and valves, helping prevent cavitation or vapor lock in processing lines. For high-temperature operations, knowing these limits ensures safe and consistent performance.

In food and beverage production, accurate boiling point information supports process control during pasteurization, distillation, and concentration. It also helps in selecting suitable food pumps, heat exchangers, and storage vessels that can withstand temperature fluctuations without compromising product quality or hygiene.

Engineers rely on this data when specifying equipment for handling volatile, corrosive, or temperature-sensitive fluids. Actual boiling points can vary slightly depending on purity, pressure, and formulation, so laboratory testing or manufacturer data should always be used for critical design calculations.

This table serves as a practical reference for selecting and optimizing reliable fluid handling equipment in diverse process environments.
