What is the temperature of a burning match? 600 to 800 degrees Celsius. How does this relate with other hot temperatures? Temperatures given are approximate for simplicity.

  • 0100 C : Boiling water, limit of non-pressurized cooking
  • 0120 C : Melting point of low-temperature hot glue
  • 0200 C : Baking with browning effects, spontaneous combustion of paper, wood, and cotton, melting point and glass transition temperature of most plastics (LDPE, HDPE, PP, PMMA, PLA, ABS, PC), melting point of high temperature hot glue, melting point of leaded solder
  • 0260 C : Lead-free reflow soldering oven, melting point of tin, melting point of PS, PET, PVC, PBT, Nylon 6/66 (polyamide), PPS plastic
  • 0285 C : Melting point of PCT plastic
  • 0400 C : Lead-free soldering iron, melting point of lead, autoignition temperature of ethyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol, autoignition temperature of flour and starch, melting point of LCP plastic
  • 0600 C : Minimum match and candle temperature
  • 0660 C : Melting point of aluminum
  • 0800 C : Maximum match temperature
  • 1000 C : Melting point of silver, gold, and copper, firing temperature of stoneware clay
  • 1400 C : Maximum candle temperature, minimum melting point of glass, 1700 K black body radiation corresponding to orange color temperature, firing temperature of porcelain
  • 1550 C : Bunsen burner temperature, maximum melting point of glass, melting point of iron, decomposition of carbon-fiber reinforced epoxy
  • 2500 C : Thermite reaction temperature range
