The flammability of a gas depends on its concentration in the atmosphere. The butane concentration must fall between an upper and lower limit to be able to ignite. The lower limit of butane concentration in the atmosphere is 1.89% and the higher limit is 8.5%<ref> Flammability of Gasses http://people.clarkson.edu/~wwilcox/Design/flamlim2.pdf</ref>. If the concentration of butane falls in this range and there is a spark present, there '''will''' be an ignition and an explosive event. | The flammability of a gas depends on its concentration in the atmosphere.

===The "Well-Ventilated Area"=== | |||
A "well-ventilated area" is commonly used to describe the area that is ideal for butane extraction. Contrary to popular belief, however, a "well-ventilated area" is not simply a room with all the windows open, it is not a kitchen stove top fan turned on, it is not a garage with the door open to let some air in - these areas do have ventilation, but the movement of air is unpredictable and may lead to explosions if butane does build up in the room. To be well-ventilated, an area must have a constant and steady supply of fresh air flowing through the area. | A "well-ventilated area" is commonly used to describe the area that is ideal for butane extraction.
